I am a Recording Artist and have been experiencing a lot of stage fright as of late. its odd because when I perform, within the first two or three minutes my legs turn to jello, i feel scared of whats going to go wrong and my lyrics become off beat , if my hype man covers for me while i sit i can get rid of the cob webs within minutes then throw an awesome show from then on out, i believe because the anxiety has passed. A friend of mine suggested i try one of his prescription atenolol, which he also uses for performance anxiety. I am unsure what proper dosage would be. I am 5 11 and weight is 185. I would like to try one to see if it works, because then I can go to the docs and get a script as I have been in the emergency room twice thinking something was wrong with my heart lol. blood work comes back fine, ekg says im healthy as an ox. Bp slightly higher than average but pretty much in great shape. they handed me an anxiety book and sent me a huge bill, lol. the anxiety makes it scare me to pop one pill an hour or 2 before i perform. scared itll trigger a panick attack on stage or have some sort of side effect. I know they said take a low dose a couple hours before but is a low dose of Atenolol safe? would it prevent me from having these weird jello leg thing and getting lightheaded or out of focus? Im a very good performer, lately this anxiety has been effecting my stage work and I really want to try
