Big community funding update! Medication for public speaking phobia? June 18, 4: Very concerned about being labelled a drug-seeker, though -- how to avoid this? I'm in grad school, where I have to give presentations on an infrequent but semi-regular basis, and my public speaking phobia is making this hell.

I'm 18, in my first year of uni and we have to present a 7 minute report to our class about 20 people in a couple of months. I'm really, really shy and have trouble talking to one person, let alone 20! I was wondering if Valium, Xanax or any other anxiety drug would help calm me down enough to hopefully do well. I usually go red, my mouth dries, I start shaking etc. I've never taken either of them before and I only plan on using them when public speaking situations such as interviews etc. Also, how do I determine my dosage so as not to become drowsy and such?
