Quiets the physical response without affecting your focus
Non-habit-forming and not a controlled substance
Situational anxiety support you won’t find on the drugstore shelf
Rapid Calm Chews are doctor-prescribed chewable tablets you take before a big moment, like a presentation, a first day at a new job or a parent-teacher meeting. They’re a beta-blocker for situational anxiety that helps control the physical symptoms, like a racing heart and shaky hands.
They contain propranolol, the active ingredient in an FDA-approved medication, plus NMN and CoQ10, chosen to complement it. NMN is a building block the body uses to make NAD+, a molecule cells use for energy. CoQ10 is part of how cells make energy, and an antioxidant.
Rapid Calm Chews are a compounded medication and are not FDA-approved. May cause lightheadedness or fatigue. Not for people with asthma or certain heart conditions.
Easing the physical side
Rapid Calm Chews help control the physical symptoms of situational anxiety, like a racing heart and shaky hands. By easing those physical reactions, they can help you feel less anxious in the moment.
Right-sized moments
Adrenaline can make normal moments feel bigger than they need to. Easing the physical symptoms can help those moments feel right-sized again.
Made for big moments
Rapid Calm Chews are made for moments like a presentation, an interview, an audition, a toast, a pitch, a first day at a new job or a parent-teacher meeting.
Individual results may vary.
May cause lightheadedness or fatigue. Not for people with asthma or certain heart conditions.
Rapid Calm Chews may be a good fit for adults who feel the physical side of situational anxiety before an event, like a presentation, an interview or a first day at a new job. They’re often a consideration for people who:
- have a specific event coming up
- notice a racing heart, shaky hands or voice or sweating before big moments
- want an option they can keep on hand for events
- are looking for judgment-free support from a doctor
Rapid Calm Chews don’t treat anxiety disorders or panic attacks. If you’re dealing with ongoing anxiety, talk to your Willow doctor about what fits best.
Rapid Calm Chews are not appropriate for everyone. You should not take them if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have:
- asthma, COPD or other breathing problems
- heart disease, a heart valve repair or replacement, a past heart attack, an irregular heart rhythm or long QT
- diabetes or an untreated thyroid disorder
- a slow heart rate, low blood pressure or a history of fainting
Rapid Calm Chews may be prescribed to eligible adults 18 and older. A Willow doctor will review your health history and determine if treatment is right for you.
Possibly, and your doctor will check. During your online assessment, you’ll share your health history and any medications or supplements you take. Your Willow doctor reviews them for possible interactions before prescribing, and you can message them if anything changes after you start.
Take 1 chewable tablet 30 to 60 minutes before your event, and try your first dose on a calm day, as your doctor directs. They’re for specific events, so don’t take them daily unless your doctor says it’s OK. Never take more than 2 chews in a day, since taking more than prescribed can be dangerous.
The Willow difference
The science behind Rapid Calm Chews
Before a big moment, adrenaline turns your body’s volume all the way up. Rapid Calm Chews turn it back down, so your heartbeat isn’t louder than your opening line. They do their work before your big moment, which is why you take them ahead of time.
You’re far from alone. About one in five U.S. adults (21.2%) report a fear of public speaking or performing at some point. A 2021 review names performance-related symptoms as one of two well-characterized psychiatric uses of beta-blockers like propranolol.
What to expect from Rapid Calm Chews
A heart that isn’t racing as they walk in
Steady hands on their notes or the mic
A voice that sounds like their own
Less sweating before they speak
A note from Dr. Green

That’s why we build your treatment plan around you. You shouldn’t have to adjust to your care. Your care should adjust to you.
