I have posted before about my problems with public speaking and social anxiety. I have noticed that if I take propranolol and 5mg diazepam the anxiety almost disappears and I'm able to perform. Problem is now I have erectile dysfunction due to these medications. What do I do? Even taking viagra doesn't help

I am sorry Abbypa that they help with some things and not with others. It is so frustrating trying to find a balance. I for one would vote for some intensive therapy to work on the anxiety and try going without meds. Do you speak for a living? ☮️
