Question

Is atenolol good for stage fright?

Answer 1

Yes, atenolol (Tenormin) is good for stage fright (performance anxiety). Atenolol can be taken 30 minutes to 1 hour before performances, and works by blocking adrenaline receptors in the body. This leads to decreased heart rate and less trembling, so that your performance is not affected by the physical symptoms of anxiety.
