"i have been suffering with this anxiety problem for years and it was starting to interfere with my life.  i am a confident person socially, but my fear of presentations was huge and i would my voice would tremble to the extent where it sounded like i was full on crying. i researched medication for this fear and found propanolol. my doctor prescribed me with 80mg half inderal (propanolol) and despite what some say, he was not hesitant about giving me a prescription and said he regularly gives it to musicians/public speakers etc. it has worked wonders for me, i no longer embarrass my self and now feel happy and confident. you may still feel nervy, but the adrenaline does not kick in. i have not suffered any symptoms and only take it seldomly."
