Re: beta blockers

Reflecting on all the performances that took place before the advent of these medications makes one wonder if something might be lost by their use. Many great musicians admitted to severe stage fright throughout their performing careers - yet they were great.

Why would someone want to play only as well as they do in their living room, instead marshalling their natural intensity to their peak level of performance? All those changes to breathing, body temperature, alertness, reaction time etc. ought to be beneficial.

Can someone using beta blockers even enter "the zone"?
