> Hi,
> From what I've read, beta blockers can help with the physical symptoms of social anxiety. Things such as blushing, rapid heartbeat, sweating, etc. A fast acting benzo such as Xanax probably would be my choice for social anxiety that is not severe, and only shows up during a performance.This is more what it is, Im concerned about shaking and rapid heart rate etc. Its not a daily event for me just in these situations. Maybe both would be overdoing it.
>For real social anxiety, that can be comorbid with depression, nothing beats the MAOI Nardil with a small dose of clonazepam. My palms used to sweat all of the time in almost any social situation. Nothing like a clammy, wet handshake. Since Nardil, they do not sweat at all.
> Good luck,
> JediThats great! I dont know anything about Nardil, I wonder if you can take it once as needed. Although Im sure the xanax will be enough.
Thanks
