DISCALIMER: This does include a medication so if you don't want to do any medications then I'm sorry this guide isn't for you. Although I will discuss how to get this medication legally and guaranteed. ALSO this medication can be tapered off as it can be used to fix the mental aspect and not just be a short time cure. I'm not a doctor and am not responsible for any actions anyone has taken from this thread.
I've finally cured my anxiety of 2 years from presentations.
This is mainly for anxiety during presentations and not for general anxiety.
What did I do? Take Propranolol. Propranolol a non selective beta adrenergic receptor antagonist ( aka beta blocker ), also it is not addictive and does not build up tolerance. It works by binding and blocking beat androgenic receptors such as beta-1 and beta-2, the reason this is important is because the beta androgens produce adrenaline and noradrenaline. Adrenaline and noradrenaline is important since performance/presentation anxiety happens your body kicks in the fight or flight mechanism which makes you produce a ton of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Now you probably understand why Propranolol works now, it blocks these hormones so you don't have the physical symptoms of adrenaline and noradrenaline. The symptoms include:
Increased heart rate
Sweating ( mainly of hands )
Trembling hands or voice ( the worst )
Shortness of breath ( even after taking in a breath )
Sadly one thing Propranolol doesn't do is block the mental symptoms of anxiety. Now that isn't exactly a bad thing, of course you probably wish you could fix your anxiety mentally instantly as well but anything that helps mentally and instantly will be addictive and dependent. In my school recently I've had a presentation about 6 times over 2 weeks and I have skipped all of those presentations while on Propranolol because whenever I got to these presentations or it was about time ( like a class before the presentation ) I was still mentally nervous. Yesterday was the day I decided I'm going to get over it and present, when the presentation was about to start I was still mentally nervous and we were called up. Although normally I can feel my heart pounding like crazy and my skin turning red and heating up while walking up in front of the class, I didn't feel it this time. It was a group presentation so my friend started talking first but I could feel I was more calm and didn't really focus on the whole class. It was my turn to talk and I started talking, I can usually say about one to two sentences normally before I start nervously talking in a shaky voice and I go out of breath. I read about 4 sentences and I was completely fine I could feel my self pausing between commas and sentences getting enough air so I could speak correctly. I felt relieved after it, it was amazing. I feel as if when i started the presentation was when I felt mental relief. So for people taking the medication and worried about their mental anxiety trust me it will go away as soon as you start.
Now for people thinking "i dont want a short time cure to anxiety! i want to get rid of it forever," anxiety can be cured long term with Propranolol. Propranolol disrupts the anxiety feedback loop. Our mental anxiety is linked with our physical anxiety and curing the physical part will lead to your mental anxiety going away. Your brain will start to think of anxiety differently. The body will no longer go into fight or flight as it realizes presentations aren't anything to fear.
Sourcing:
There are 2 ways of getting Propranolol, first way is getting prescribed( which i did myself ), trust me it is way easier getting prescribed than the second way. All you have to do is ask your parent to go see a psychiatrist, tell your parent that "in school i've been getting serious anxiety during presentations i've tried all the natural things like meditation and breathing and exercises on my own but i think a psychiatrist could properly help me." Once you get your psychiatrist you need to tell them that your dealing with "performance" anxiety and like talk about your bad experiences during presentations, talk about the symptoms above too. They'll most likely prescribe you with Propranolol as they love to prescribe it. Also it is quite cheap!
The second way is to buy it from a third party source, personally I would get it from Optimum Meds. They have pharma grade medications also don't be whining that its from India, India is a great place to source stuff from as its mostly legal over there. Here are the prices:
It takes about 9-15 days to ship and they have the following payment methods:
Bank Wire Transfer
Wise.com
Revolut
Bitcoin/ Cryptocurrency
Remitly
Western Union
XE Transfer
World Remit
Moneygram
Xoom
Dosage and Side Effects:
The dosing for Propranolol is 20-40mg, I personally take 40mg but I don't think I need too because I was expecting to feel something on 20mg and didn't feel anything so my psych upped it to 40 still didn't feel anything but I realized you aren't supposed to feel anything until the anxious event. I'd try 20mg and If you have to present through the day (at the start and end) I'd take 40mg since the half life is about 4-6 hours so you will be at a 20mg dose after 4-6 hours. You shouldn't take propranolol if you have abnormally low blood pressure or irregular heartbeat, heart failure, or asthma or other lung disease.
Also I'm pretty new to org and how to format so let me know how i should improve on threads and the quality of them. Please ask any questions.
