Drugs to aid with public speaking?

Re: Re: Drugs to aid with public speaking?

Propranolol. Any beta-blocker will alleviate those symptoms.

This was the most sound advice thus far in this thread (and from a Greenlighter, no less!) ;).

Jumping right to powerful sedatives like benzos or opiates to aid ones public speaking prowess is really asking for trouble. Although these drugs do work they also have a number of other mind altering effects as well. Keep in mind that you not only want to be calm when you are speaking to a large group of people, but you also want to be sharp! Benzos have been described as "speedbumps for the brain" and holding true to that description they often cause one to think slower. I cannot imagine that anyone could come off as more eloquent while on a benzo. In regards to opioids, the same often holds true, and then there is always that extra deep and scratchy voice that for many is one of the hallmarks of opioid intoxication.

Thanks for the sound advice, nox. :)

you don't necessarily need drugs; one of the most effective aids I found to be Phenibut (beta-phenyl-gamma-aminobutyric acid)1-2g's
You can combine it with: Theanine 200-600mg
Passion Flower
Ashwagandha
Valerian
Kava Lava
Rhodiola Rosea (500-1000mg)
and the notorious on these boards 5-HTP (100-200mg).
 
From personal experience (with public speaking), meth combined with GHB works extremely well.
 
Why are all of you so suprised by my recommendation of E? For me it stimulates me, increases my vocal and mental lucidity, and destroys my inhibitions. Perfect for a speech.

Plus if you're standing in front of a large group nobody is going to notice the size of your pupils.

Because E is generally more likely to make you look like a retard.
 
yeah, no stimulants unless your problem is feelimg knackered/sluggish beforehand. Then coffee, guarana, or khat might come in handy.

If it's anxiety/tension/adrenalin related, no stimulants at all, but rather kava kava (might work wonders) or other chill-out herbs. Kava is also renowned for making people socianble on top of reducing anxiety. Otherwise passiflora indeed, or perhaps valerian or melissa.

And some slow deep breathing beforehand. Ground yourself.

That is true. Meth or GHB or combo of meth and G is the best for public speaking/social situations.

I hope you're joking, because I'm still laughing at your post!
I can just see you giving the speech announcing to the room.......
"Would anyone in the room like to volunteer to give the speaker a massage?"
 
I'm gonna have to go with a combo of dexies and benzo's. Such a wonderful feeling that is and unless you take too much no body will have a clue you are on something.

Kava Kava is good too if you just need to relax. Its mild and easy to handle. Its also legal but tastes like ass.
 
Beta Blockers- the most sensible option

Beta blockers. No other drugs, please.

A beta blocker will prevent the increase in your heart rate that can lead to that freaked out nervous feeling. This is the ONLY drug I would recommend. I have even discussed this with my boss who runs the neuroscience lab that I work in. He knows that I don't like public speaking and said that beta blockers will help you to remain calm without creating any of the fuzziness or sleepiness that benzos can cause.

I would not recommend benzos, however, possibly a small dose could be effective. Most doctors, however, will not give you benzos for public speaking.

Most doctors WILL give beta blockers for public speaking. I would also recommend trying the betas a couple of days before speaking just so you know what they will do to you (not much really, except keep you from wanting to die in front of a large audience.)
 
I think a nice combo of adderall and xanax would do the trick. No anxiety and you will still be focused.
 
No shit they would. As mentioned earlier, I don't think MDMA would really be the way to go for public speaking anxiety. Thats a little extreme and a little obvious to the crowd. Sweating, dialated eyes, moving back and forth, the need to touch things, and the crowd may find you just a little over excited about whatever you are talking about.
