> I didn't read into yout complaint too much, my apoligies. Inderal SHOULD work for what you have. Stage fright. There are people that take daily benzos, Nardil, and/or Nardil+something. Just wish you are not them. I hate people complaining about blushing and trembling when many of us have borderling posessions. Everyone has social phobia sometimes but you are getting somewhat depressed though during your anticipation, which (if true...really look into yourself)is a cause for concern. Not really a "aw why'd I blush!" Sort of thing. Antidepressants aren't for everyone, but I'd give a different beta blocker a change. Also you do know there is an increase in anxiety typially at the initiation of AD treatment (your minor symptoms fit that) There are many drugs you probably haven't heard of good for performance anxiety. If Inderal doesn't work, try another beta blocker. The difference in them is more than the difference between some other drugs in other classes. Now why, why, WHY would you consider Paxil? Try a different beta blocker and coping stategies.

As I still have anxiety, I need to question a few things you say. First, I have increased propranolol to 40MG, twice daily, and it is not helping.

So, why /not/ consider Paxil? Please support your hypothesis as to why you believe this SSRI is not a good choice (I am on Paxil now, have been for quite some time).

The propranolol is not working at 40MG, twice daily (and sometimes 3x daily), so any more suggestions? I'm still getting the sweating / facial flushing.

Thanks,
JP
