Propranolol is a beta-blocker. It mainly blocks adrenaline in the body… the physical symptoms of anxiety. It doesn’t really reduce anxiety like a SSRI does (over time). Yes, I use Propanolol before presentations, heavy speaking meetings etc… helps me heaps! Haven’t yet tried it before an interview but I will soon. I’ll report back.
