I was fairly confident till today ( test in two days) but all today I've been shaking, dizzy and my B/P have hit the ceiling. I have PRN klonipin for anxietybut I'd like to be functioning and actually remember something when I get to rhe test. I tried klonipin for a math test once and drooled through most of it. Any suggeations?

I was nervous before the test, not in freak out mode, but butterfly in the stomach. I just kept reminding myself either I knew it or I didn't and at least after the test I would know what I needed to work on for the next time. I found once I started the test it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I calmed down for the rest of it. Maybe its dumb but I also prepped the couple of days before by drinking lots of water, eating healthy and taking a multivitamin everyday. It might not have helped but it made me feel like I had something to concentrate on and that I could control. I scored well so it couldn't have hurt lol. Good luck!

Thanks, I ended up taking the klonipin since I knew I'd probably score bad if I spent the test curled up fetal under the desk. I was a little fuzzy but I just got my score and I got a 91.3 . Yay drugs?
