You passed. A win is a win. I’m wondering why you would double up on your medication before a key presentation if you’d never done it before. Seems silly.

Anxiety makes us do silly stuff and more so the impulsive desire to get rid of it.

My anxiety has made me to similar things at just the wrong time. I’m glad it still kinda worked out for you.

Anxiety is there for a reason... I was anxious during my defense as well, but that lead me to perform much better than I expected 😂.... again a win is a win, now you are a PhD candidate (was it the proposal you did?) don't do that during defense. In proposals they are more lenient and can give time, in defense it is strictly 45 mins or less... so good luck!
