Preferably something I don't have to order online because I have to give a presentation in 2 days. Klonopin is out of the question; I could never get a prescription from the conservative docs here. Valerian and fish oil don't do anything for me. I know I could try theanine, picamilon, or passionflower but I really don't think they'll be strong enough -- I get so anxious in public speaking that my thoughts wildly race around in my head, it's like I have OCD symptoms (but never anytime else) and my heart rate is through the roof!

> Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!If valerian is not strong for you, then I don´t think you will find any OTC product that will help.
Have you tried magnesium, GABA and taurine?.
Can´t someone give you some propranolol?.
Once you pass this situation I would seek help.
Also, I would not try to experiment on new substances on that special date you can have unexpected problems (except from the aminos and minerals I think).
At least you can exercise and have a moderate dose of alcohol.
If you take pikamilon do it in small dosages.
