Mark,

I have one very simple concern. If an individual has a problem like this, or any other medical or psychological concern, they should see the best specialist they can identify and let that person diagnose (and if necessary, treat) the problem.

My suggestion is that treatment options for any individual be specified by a specialist and that the individual not attempt to self medicate. I fully support the idea that each individual should have full access, without any kind of stigma or financial limitation, to the treatments that appropriate licensed professionals feel are state-of-the-art and necessary.

If I remember the original survey cited at the top of this thread correctly, a very high percentage of the individuals who had tried Beta Blockers did not have their own prescriptions. My concerns are that individuals may be using these drugs without appropriate medical supervision and sharing prescriptions.

My secondary concern is this. 30-, 40- and 50-year olds have a different level of sophistication with the medical treatment system than do 12-, 15-, and 17-year olds. Should minors be reading these posts and if they (or their parents or their clarinet teachers) feel that that there is a reason to consult a physician, they should be fully encouraged to do that (subject to any parental consent issues in the states in which they reside). Anyone should be discouraged from using prescription drugs that are not obtained through prescription. And I think that we do need to remind minors repeatedly that self (or peer or trusted non-professional adult) diagnoses and treatment are not desirable.

If you believe there is too much detail about who is and is not licensed in my original post, it was intentional because I think a lot of readers are younger and may not know this.

I believe that you and I do not differ in our positions about the appropriate use of these medications. I fully support their use, UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION, for individuals diagnosed by a competent professional. My point is primarily to ensure that everyone remembers to see a doctor and not self diagnose or let their friends or teachers "talk them into a problem."

And, should you wonder, I also strongly believe in second opinions from doctors and other professionals if the original diagnostician does not offer a full range of treatment options.

George
