Phillipa, I went through a deposition once on a very large environmental case and it was nerve racking (even with meds). Giving certain presentations produces the same level of anxiety for me. Sometimes they include hostile participants. If my boss is present, it only makes it worse. He's been a good boss, supportive and a nice person, so I'm not exactly sure why he makes a difference? He's much older than me, so it's probably some father/son complex in my mind. In any event, if I take more than 1mg Klonopin before a presentation, I feel like I'm slurring my speech. I think I'm going to try to beta blocker again. I'd rather suffer through the anxiety for an hour or two than turn beet red and look like a fool in front of people. Does anyone know the dosage for propranolol? I'm thinking 40mg maybe with a small dose of Xanax. Thanks.
