Comparing Buspirone vs Propranolol

For Anxiety I feel like most of the reviews that say they had panic attacks on it is because they had reduced or stopped a benzo Xanax, kolanapin, valum. I am on Xanax and feel a difference after taking buspar for a while. My doctor did not take me off the xanax or lower the dose but said see how you feel. I also have a non addicting personality but I am dependent on the medication ill admit. i feel that most of you should have started taking the buspar and took the benzo as well because you might be feeling the anxiety more because of that not the new medication. You are withdrawing. These medications need to be slowly weened off and only after the new meds have started working. I feel bad you guys didn't give it a chance because of your Drs.

For Anxiety My experience with buspirone is that it gave me horrible headaches, but on the occasions I don't get a headache, I REALLY like the way bispirone makes me feel- chill. I was on Zoloft & lexapro and all those did for me was make me nauseated. W/ buspirone, iwould break the tablet into .5 & sometimes go up to 15, Even with food and water intake. Anyone else whose had this experience w/ buspirone, please share your story whether it's similar or different- would love the feedback. & anyone with the same head ache side affects, how do you go with treating that? Also, If you've had success with taking buspirone & Xanax together or within the same day, please advise Xo

For Performance Anxiety Let me tell you guys about the greatest drug ever created. I have been terrified of public speaking since about 2012. I am now a senior in college and have avoided presentations my whole college career. Finally, I had to do a presentation AND in front of someone I liked. I was mortified of freaking out mid presentation and not being able to even say a sentence. I lose my breath in presentations usually, it’s awful, it’s ruined my life. So on the day of the presentation I took 20mg of propranolol about 4 hours before and 20mg about 30 min before. I still had extreme mental anxiety about it, but once I got up there and started speaking, I felt like I could talk for HOURS without any physical anxiety. It even took away my mental anxiety while I was presenting due to none of the physical symptoms manifesting. PLEASE TALK TO YOU DOCTOR ABOUT THIS DRUG IF YOU SUFFER FROM STAGE FREIGHT.

For Performance Anxiety Very social guy, and I'm in sales for a living. However for some reason I have this nagging performance anxiety that arises randomly when put on the spot to speak after I build something up too much in my head. Or when I know I have some presentation coming up. I'm talking racing heart, catching my breathe, barely able to muster a couple of sentences. Feel like a damn fool. (I honestly think it all started when a grade 10 teacher would randomly pick me to read things in front of the class unexpectedly.. !) I'm a musician and can sing/play no problem in front of people, but when it comes to speaking without propranolol I'm a mess, with propranolol I'm quite good. Safe to say this drug has helped me immensely, including in my career, where many times you can't shy away, you have to face your fears.
