Proplanylol? Other nerve remedies?

I have taken Proplanylol (the beta blockers that Steisand uses) to prevent physical nerves a few times. They don't make you high, they just keep you from having the shakes. They are actually prescribed for stagefright, but are also used to keep the heart rates of cardiac patients steady.

Again, it's not something I always use, but I know a number of singers who have gotten them from doctors and it changed their lives.

Does anyone else take these, or have heard about them? Any other stage fright remedies, medical or otherwise?
