We're all suffer from Sp and the only way to find solution is trying to help to each other.So I will be so pleased if you answer my question.
I wonder if drugs are useful when you are trembling and shaking terriblyThe only problem is now trembing for me.Everytime I make a speech at the school I feel my head shaking.And my fingers too.What can I do?Have you ever feel like it?How can I solve that problem? Thank you for reading.

Ok.... i once did some cognitive behavioural therapy techniques for social anxiety.
My therapist had me do different activities on camera - a talk to a group; a presentation; an informal interview, all in front of a group with the therapist present.... and what we learned from viewing all the tapes (say 6 hours of tapes) and interviewing those who had watched me perform, was that they hadnt noticed my hands shaking or head shaking, and i myself could NOT visibly see it on the tapes, even though i could feel it really strongly.
Try to remember that next time. The class wont really notice the shaking, they'll be thinking of other things in their day and will be thinking about what you are saying.
Hope that is helpful.

People usually don't notice that you are nervous while giving a speech, and if they do, they usually just think about how glad they are that they aren't up there at the moment. They probably wont pay attention to you, and if they do, then you're doing a really good job (especially if its a boring subject).

Hi Spfreezes!

I have noticed beneficial effect from the beta-blocker:propranolol when it comes to physical signs like trembling.
But I only used half a tablet now and then (a few times a months maybe...but I did notice effect every time!)
I'm not on any meds now though...

Beta-blockers are drugs that interfere with nerve signals transmitted by the neurotransmitter chemical norepinephrine (noradrenaline). By fitting into nerve cell beta receptors, beta-blockers prevent norepinephrine from binding to the receptors and causing “fight-or-flight “ symptoms like anxiety, increased heart beat, dilation of certain blood vessels etc.. By reducing the amount of noradrenaline and adrenaline caused by stress and anxiety, beta-blockers can help ease physical symptoms like trembling.

Not to put a damper on things, i had a really horrible speech at high school iwas shakign and some people were trying to suppress their laughter...even the nice girls were trying not to even they wanted to. so it's not true that they will never notice you.

after all ur the only one up there, the centre of attention, so who are they all watching?

Be sure that it is not shaking that makes them laugh.When I wasn't feel that shaking in the past I didn't understand and see anything like this.But after some time I realised that some of people are trying to control themselves.We are afraid of thta because we are SA and we think that everybody see what we see.But they don't. :wink:
