Hey Sam tichmann.. Im also from toronto..and i suffer from Social anxiety as well.. I use to do the same thing when i was in H.S... I use to skip class,skip presentations.. now im droped out of college.. Because of this stupid anxiety.. Sad man..we have to go thru this.. Life is not fair..life is just not fair.
hey jegan,
ive heard that yoga and meditation actually helps. tried it...but never really kept my discipline. should do it n see what happens. shouldnt drop out of college man. go see a doctor and tell him to prescribe you clonazopam. i dunno if uve heard about it yet or not. it really calms u down for like 7-8 hours...i finally did a presentation after taking like 5 of those pills. sounds nuts but i had to do that presentation in order to graduate. it helps..its like being drunk. but im looking for a permanent alternative.

im actually pretty close to sauga right now, i go to school in hamilton.
what kinda doc prescribed clonazepam for you? family doctors seem hesitant to prescribe benzos to me, they've only offered SSRIs. did you go see a specialist?
propranolol helps a lot with presentations too. stops physical symptoms like shaking and studdering.
no i actually saw a Psychiatrist cuz doctors didnt know wut the fahq was goin on. blood check n everything else is perfectly fine. i guess im jus fahqed in the head. but yea...clonazapam kinda give u that drunky feeling. but im definately gonna try propranolol. since presentations is my main concern. have u ever actually tried propranolol ZERODAY? im studyin engineering btw.

yes i've taken propranolol 14 times. (20mg tabs) mainly for presentations, i'm in commerce. it kicks in at around 1 to 1.5 hours. its been a lifesaver.
it doesnt stop me from being anxious, the racing thoughts are still there, but the physical symptoms like shaking, studdering are gone. I don't even say "umm" either. I also think it helps with blushing/sweating somewhat.
its not addictive either, docs are quite happy prescribing the drug.
theres presentations in engineering? not many, right? what school?
yea engineering's got presentation man. i go to mc master. im definately gona try that med. so from wut ur sayin...it eliminates shaking and heart beat? i also get that pain in my stomach and chest (heart possibly) when im nervous...i dunno if u know what im talking about....do u think it helps that too? any side effects?
