Benzodiazepines for Interviews Hey fellow PWS, it’s nearing that time for me to start interviewing for internships and full time positions in my career and I’ve been wondering if anyone has tried benzodiazepines as needed (or in general) for interview days? and if it has helped reduce your stutter during the interview. I’ve already tried propranolol, SSRI’s, and even risperidone/abilify (antipsychotics) and they don’t help much in regard to my blocks.
