For planned presen-: tations , your doctor can prescribe low dose Propranolol, 10-20 mg., for you to take 1/2 - 1 hour before your talk. For diagnosis of & therapy for anxiety disorder, seek referrals to a psychiatrist for medications & a psychologist for Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. With a valid diagnosis, you can get ADA accomodations at school, e.g., 24-hour warnings before being called upon to speak to the class
