Can I take xanax before I have to give a speech?!


Question: Can I take xanax before I have to give a speech!?
Will it zonk me out too much!? I have a 0!.5 mg pill- and I've never taken any before!. I have this presentation I have to do for school (college) next week- and sometimes (like 10%) of the time I'm totally okay giving speeches, but much more frequently I'll get like 2 or 3 minutes into the speech and my face turns red, I have trouble breathing and sometimes I'll lose my voice completely and have to leave the room!. I had a professor ask if I was having heart problems once!. lol!.

It's WEIRD because one-on-one I'm completely confidant talking to people and I'm usually the clown among my friends- but the second I have to get up in front of people at school- even in a class where I'm friends with everyone- I have a full blown panic attack!.

So, I don't take xanax- but I have one pill that a friend gave me, and I'm wondering if I should take 1/2 or the whole thing, and if it will make me loopy during my speech!? I'm about 105lbs- 5'3!.

And please don't tell me I just shouldn't take it- because the speech is in two days and I'm not gonna find a public speaking coach between now and then!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well as a general rule you shouldn't take someone else's prescription!. You know that could cause damage within your body!. Xanax is for treating anxiety disorders and conditions, and should only be taken with the advice of your doctor!. It can cause multiple side effects, ones that are worse than a panic attack if not expecting them!. Maybe you should try the pills out on a day like today to see how they affect you and if you remain safe you can use it during your speech!. Good Luck to you!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
