Are there relaxation medications which reduce nervousness in public speaking?
human
Hi.  I am starting a new job which I have learned involves public speaking.  In college, I dreaded public speaking and would physically shake while my heart pounded.  I just sucked it up in college but I really don't want to appear like Im extremely nervous when I am doing presentations at my new job.  I don't think I have an anxiety disorder but I do get extremely nervous in public speaking situations.  Is there any medication I could get to take to just relax me in these situations?  Should I talk to a psychiatrist?  Thank you for your help.

DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The condition you are mentioning here and worrying can be easily termed as anxiety and apprehension (simply termed as stage fear) or more precisely social anxiety disorder. Medicine prescribed for this is almost anxiety related. You can consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and prescription.But you need to rethink first. before starting medication you need to have a counseling first which surely will help you. If not then psychotherapy should help you. This is not a serious problem at all. Understanding the condition will ease the anxiety. We come through so many such problems in life and learn to adjust with it. Once adjusted it becomes a habit. For further clarifications visit  this answers your query.
