- This is really one for your doctor but Inderal, which I believe is a beta
- blocker, has been proven to steady out the nerves for shooting. Sorry
- I can't remember the source; it was a long time ago. One problem with
- Inderal is that at first it makes you a little dopey, but with continued
- use you do get used to it. It's a pretty cheap drug. Other similar drugs
- do not cross the blood-brain barrier (Cor-gard (sp?)comes to mind) and
- hence tend to not make you dopey but I don't know if they also steady the
- nerves. These variations are more expensive. One other thing - these
- aren't drugs you take as you feel the need. These are drugs which you
- take as a long-term regimen. Getting on and off them frequently ain't
- such a hot idea. Obviously you want to stay away from caffeine, found
- in coffee and soda pops.
-
- I'm no doctor. The above is given only as a pointer to get you to go
- ask your doctor about these possibilities.
