Do you prefer xanax or Klonopin prior to a performance?
> I have the same problem. I tried Effexor and it definitely reduced anxiety generally, but still needed xanax or similar before a performance. Side effects of Effexor are tough to take, so I switched to Lexapro. I'm only on 10 mg and I feel some benefit, not quite as good as on Effexor, but might be when I get up to 20 mg. I would give an SSRI a try; avoid Wellbutrin, which is not in the SSRI class - no anti-anxiety effect. If fact, it will make you jittery.
