A lot of anxiolytics also have a concomitant sedative effect (make you drowsy)....so I would not recommend taking medication before driving (both for the purpose of your test & driving in general).

You should try to relax instead...you've learned about driving, just keep saying to yourself it's easy as ABC & you can do it...you'll be amazed what mind over matter can do!

Also, before your test, try to avoid any substance which can increase your heart rate & make you more anxious or seem to be more anxious than you already are...like coffee or chocolate.

If you've experienced having abdominal pain in the epigastric area, you can temporarily take an antacid to calm your stomach.
 
I have my driving test in 4 weeks...4th time lucky. I know from my previous ones that I tend to get quite nervy mostly at roundabouts. I am OK before hand.

Whats the best remedy/medication available to calm me down/slow my heart rate. I have bought some Calms and am trying them, I have used rescue remedy and it didn't seem to have any effect. I may try St Johns wart. Also, I heard that if you go see a Dr they can give you something also?
