drugs and anxiety/stage fright
hey guys
i was just wondering if anyone knew how certain drugs effect the sensation of stage fright.
first of all, im not a pussy. i was just wondering if there was something i could take to take the edge off of a huge presentation i have to give tomorrow (about DMT actually).
I have some adderal and some beta blockers. i think from a physiological point of view this should work wonderfully.
the only thing im wondering about is if the adderal will only add to my anxiety, or if it will give me more confidence. ive noticed i become paranoid on adderal, but at the same time i am also way more socially confident.
any advice? is this a stupid idea?

Re: drugs and anxiety/stage fright
Opiates and amphetamines with some benzos to round it all out. You'll give the best presentation ever, provided you don't take too much and od/blackout that is.

Re: drugs and anxiety/stage fright
Low dose amphetamine (20mg snorted)
AND
Beta blockers. Just the regular dose of the beta blocker.
Beta blockers will definitely help for anxiety, especially fight or flight type anxiety that you are probably having from the stage fright.
Taken together you will be very chatty and confident.

Re: drugs and anxiety/stage fright
do you think it matters if i snort it? if i take it orally, how long should i do it before the presentation? i was thinking like an hour and a half.
how much is a normal beta blocker dose? i have 40 mg tabs

Yes it does matter, because oral absorption of amphetamine is rather shitty and insufflated absorption is pretty good.
Snorting 20mg will feel like popping 30. It's just dumb to eat amps.
And there are a lot of beta blockers out there man, what KIND of beta blocker do you have? They don't share the same dose haha.

Re: drugs and anxiety/stage fright
anybody ever notice a difference between different beta blockers?
like say, non selective vs. selective vs. mixed adrenergic antagonists?
any reason to choose one over the other?

Re: drugs and anxiety/stage fright
the beta blocker is nadolol, i believe its non-selective.
well, you see, the problem is that i have to ingest the adderal 90 minutes before hand. i am going to be busy right up until the presentation. would that be too long for optimal peak effects?

Re: drugs and anxiety/stage fright
Just do it sober.. it's not like you won't be doing it more as life goes on, unless you get a job analyzing #s all day w/ little human contact.
Public speaking is a good skill to develop.

Re: drugs and anxiety/stage fright
amps and opes. or just one of the other. both give you the extra edge to say the shit you wouldn't normally say front stage [as opposed to thinking back stage]...

Re: drugs and anxiety/stage fright
Depends on your tolerance so we can't really reccomend you a proper dose. Just take a low dose of the adderall oral or snorted, either way it's good. Then beta blockers to kill the adrenergic effects which would make you feel more anxious and jittery.

adderall or alcohol always makes me confident/much more social.

Don't listen to this retarded, cunt. Eating will do just fine, just make sure you crush that shit up and parachute it. You don't want that nasty shit up your nose, so much damn filler. Leave that to the fiends.

Re: drugs and anxiety/stage fright
Valium, or any benzo really.
Just think of it as being drunk and 'loose', but without being sloppy and not in control.

Re: drugs and anxiety/stage fright
If you're nervous about it already, using drugs to quell your feelings will probably lower the quality of your presentation and shift your focus more on the drug's affect on you rather than the content of your presentation. If I were you I'd just do it, then afterwards get really fucking high.

Re: drugs and anxiety/stage fright
I would probably go with .5-2 mg of Clonazepam, or some shots of liquor (Bit more risky, you could embarrass yourself if you over-do it.) Adderall would be good too, but I would at least drink a bit of liquor or take some benzos with it, as it always makes me a bit more anxious.

STFU/GTFO acolyte
Wow, I've been here since early 2005, and know more about pharmaceuticals than your pediatrician, you 16 year old dick. Not exactly acolyte material.
And FYI:
Pharmacokinetic data Bioavailabilty of amphetamine:
Oral 20–25%; nasal 75%; rectal 95–99%; intravenous 100%(Taken from HERE (http://www.chemeurope.com/lexikon/e/Amphetamine/))
Q'ED.
So, you fags CAN eat your amps, but you'd be getting around 2\3 less bang for your buck. Again, it's not gonna keep me up at night, I'm just throwing it out there. :D

Re: drugs and anxiety/stage fright
Why do you think musicians always run into drug problems? Most drugs are gonna help them with performance/stage anxiety in their heads (and usually not in the actual performance).

I'd say it's worth it not to be sniffing salt.
