I was wondering if there are any online workshops for public speaking conducted by Janet or any of her instructors? I’m from Mumbai (India) and would love to be a part of such a workshop. I’ve read Janet’s books and it’s the first time that I ever felt hopeful about conquering this fear, which has affected every part of my life. Have tried out a few courses here in India, but the focus is more on English speaking rather than the psychology of fear itself. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Paul, beta-blockers are generally considered to be the best option for people in your situation looking to reduce anxiety symptoms. You have tried Metoprolol you say, so perhaps consider reading more about Propranolol and talking to a medical professional about trying it – we have an excellent article covering Propranolol here; https://performanceanxiety.com/propranolol/

I was well prepared, but did not sleep well the night before, and was extremely stressed leading up to the audition, and a total mess during it.
I regularly take Metoprolol for high blood pressure, & took and extra pill a couple hours before the audition.
I think I need something more effective, like Prozac to really knock out the stage fright. Do you have any suggestions for it or another drug? Thanks!

In fact Atenolol is taken on a daily basis for many patients. Check if you have pre-existing low blood pressure or other cardiac problems: these problems may preclude you from taking them.

Hi Carol; as I’m not a licensed medical professional I do not want to hand out specific dosage information as there is no way of telling how any recommendations may affect you. My recommendation is to speak to your beta blocker prescription provider and/or your doctor about dosage for using beta blockers for anxiety and limitations on how often you should/can take your specific prescription. Also ask about any potential side effects of prolonged usage and, if possible, ask about interactions of the beta blocker with any other medication you may be taking.

For non-specific general advice about Propranolol dosage for anxiety purposes, we have a new page covering this here: https://performanceanxiety.com/propranolol-dose-for-anxiety/
Please note that this is NOT medical advice, and you should run everything by a licensed medical professional for your own safety and peace of mind!

Is one a week too much?
