 Is
it worthwhile to take medication for public speaking
anxiety? Many people try talking to their doctor
about their anxiety with public speaking, but overwhelmingly,
doctors tend to "throw pills at the problem,” prescribing
one or more so-called anti-anxiety medications.
While
there are medications that can temporarily ease anxiety, such
as that experienced in public speaking, unfortunately, many
of these pharmaceuticals also have a fairly nasty side effects,
and most can even be habit-forming, causing the user to depend
upon the medication more and more for even the simplest of
day-to-day tasks.
Surveys
consistently show that public speaking is many people's greatest
fear, but the fact is there is no medication specifically
designed to alleviate public speaking anxiety. The various
types of anti-anxiety medications tend to deal more with general
life based anxiety, not with specific, and situational, anxiety
such as public speaking.
But
there is a real alternative to taking medication for public
speaking anxiety. In fact, public speaking anxiety is caused
by the same underlying "thinking habits" as all
anxiety symptoms. Programs such as the EasyCalm
video series for anxiety contain daily exercises to gradually
expand your "comfort zone" and make anxiety less
likely to occur in any situation, not just public speaking.

EasyCalm program is an alternative
to trying to use medication for public speaking and other
situational anxiety problems. The program is all natural,
so there are no negative side effects or risk of dependency.
You don't need medication for public speaking anxiety -- you

the anxiety. Try EasyCalm for yourself
