I would definately do it - fear of public speaking is an easy fear to conquer and it builds a lot of self confidence.
In my opinion, you don't need drugs you just need to do it often.
Usually you are being asked to speak because you are the expert in the topic on which you are speaking. Remember, YOU are the expert.
I was never really that frightened by it because I had always put on little "shows" for friends and family when I was a kid. However, with my career choice, the opportunity to speak in public really went into overdrive.
Now, I frequently speak to crowds of over 500 and never even break a sweat.
You can do it. Remember, you are the expert.
