Anticipatory Anxiety gets to all of us, whether that be before an interview or presentation/speech etc. Our cortisol and adrenaline levels rise, and this exacerbates our stuttering. I take Propranolol which is a Beta Blocker before a heavy speaking event. It really calms me and I’m more fluent and much less anxious. A doctor will give it you if you explain your situation.
