mance anxiety
"I have battled with public speaking for 18 years and would get nervous about a speech even if it was months away.  It ended the second I took propranolol.  I take 20-40mg 1 hour prior to any public speaking event and I am completely calm.  No racing heart beat prior to standing up, no shaky voice, no trembling hands, no more anxiety attacks, etc.  I can't believe I've spent 18 years trying every technique on the market, herbs, physical training, etc. to finally realize this one medicine would instantly cure me.  I was prescribed this by a psychiatrist after I lost all hope and this has no doubt changed my life and career over night.  I went from a regular engineer to running a division of 200 people now with zero fear of speaking to them."
