Is there any type of nervous/relaxing pills?

Question

i'm a kicker for my high school team which means i'm most likely going to experience a lot of pressure some time through this season. Is there any type of pills that keep you from becoming nervous or keep you relaxed? i need something to control myself.

Answer 1

Diazepam and other prescription benzodiazepines help with anxiety but you would need these from your doctor and doctors don't normally prescribe these for stage fright.

Answer 2

Valerian Root and St. John's Wort are both good herbal options for anxiety and also depression. Valerian tends to make you sleepy though so I wouldn't recommend that for during a game. Maybe some relaxation techniques would help you more, to calm yourself mentally. There's a good book called Creative Visualization that I've found very helpful in giving ways to deal with stressful situations through meditation.  

Answer 3

Yes, through a doctor, but you have to display signs of panic attacks, not just simple explainable anxiety, which is good for you, by the way, it means you're paying attention.
