Britney Spears is reportedly 'close to breaking point' as she prepares for her first tour since her public breakdown.
The star is becoming increasingly stressed and anxious as pressure grows in the final weeks of rehearsals, according to reports.
"Britney's like a wound-up spring waiting to go off," a source told Now.
"She's still taking medication to get through each day.
"She's so stressed about the kids and so nervous about the tour that it's making her physically ill. The only way she can release that tension is to scream at whoever is closest.
"She locks herself in her room or the bathroom and frequently breaks down in tears."
The 'Circus' singer has allegedly been prescribed Valium and anti-anxiety pill Ativan to supplement her regular bipolar medication.
Spears's live show kicks off in New Orleans on March 3, before playing a "mini-residency" at London's O2 arena from June 3. She recently added a further date in Manchester on June 17.
The TV magician hired to jazz up Britney Spears's forthcoming world tour has given fans a glimpse of what to expect.
Illusionist Ed Alonzo, who has previously appeared on Saved By The Bell, promised E! Online that 'The Circus Starring Britney Spears' will be an "amazing concert" experience.
"We're going to be doing the classics of magic but a little high-tech," he explained. "We'll be doing a little dissection, transposition, a vanish, an appearance.
"There are some complicated things... but because she's a dancer, it really makes sense to put her in the magic, and it works and she's really really good at it. Some of it's pretty scary but she gets right in there with no reservations."
He added that Spears will be performing "the best music... that people have loved over the years" and "brand new favourites from the new album".
Describing the three-ring, circus-inspired set, he said: "[It is] exactly what you would see in a big giant Vegas production show."
Spears kicks off her tour in New Orleans on March 3. She is scheduled to play a mini-residency at London's O2 arena from June 3 and a one-off show in Manchester on June 17.
Sounds promising

i cant wait! im really looking forward to it :D
BRITNEY SPEARS returned to touring duty for the first time in five years with an X-rated, bondage-heavy show.
The star blew the lid off the New Orleans Arena with her adult-only antics.
Male dancers sported kinky, leather outfits and masks while the Louisiana native wore some of the most revealing outfits of her career, including sheer body-suits, which left very little to the imagination.
In fact, she made support act the PUSSYCAT DOLLS look like a group of nuns.
KYLIE MINOGUE's tour director produced the show, which was split into four acts.
Taking her cue from some of MADONNA's more risque antics, it was pure raunch from the outset, which saw the star sporting a sexy circus mistress's uniform.
Dancers tumbled from the ceiling sporting S&M masks.
During Piece Of Me the songbird, sporting a shiny PVC outfit, found herself imprisoned in a cage which was dragged around the stage.
A spot of pole-dancing from the Louisiana native preceeded a segment which saw her subject to a number of magicians' tricks like being sawn in half.
Controversial track If U Seek Amy saw her bashing her dancers over the head with a pink hammer.
A Bollywood-themed section followed with the singer in traditional Indian clothing.
Shock rocker MARILYN MANSON's cover version of The Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams soundtracked a particularly eye-popping video which was aired during a segue.
It featured Britney draping herself over various mask-sporting men in an orgy-style scenario.
But it was the penultimate Freakshow segment that was the most extraordinary of the evening, with track Slave 4 U proving the most eye-popping.
Britney sporting a shiny metallic body-suit while flames erupted around the stage was just mind-boggling.
The young, parent-friendly Britney has well and truly left the building.
Welcome then, 2009's adult, X-rated older sister.

britney last night http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/starsnaps/i173385/britney-spears.html
BRITNEY SPEARS shocked everyone as she kicked off her first world tour in five years – by actually singing a song.
There’s bound to be plenty of controversy over this spectacular and very naughty show, but it’s the fact she used her voice, as well as the rest of her body, that left us open-mouthed.
Mind you, it was only one song.
The fallen pop princess rose from the wilderness at the New Orleans Arena with one of the rudest performances ever seen.
She was tipped to mime throughout the entire Circus live show, as she did on X Factor.
But Bizarre were there with ears pricked and, at the end of the second act — bingo! Britney sang drippy ballad Everytime with her pre-recorded vocal track reduced to a minimum.
Under normal circumstances you might think one live song for £100 a bit steep, but Britney is not a normal pop star.
And it is amazing to see her return with such an incredible show when, not long ago, we all wondered if she would ever step foot on a stage again.
And to be fair, it would have been pretty hard to have enough puff to sing for 90 minutes as she sped through a mind-boggling 15 costumes — including some of the raunchiest ever seen in a pop show.
She went from PVC vamp, to nipple-tassled sex bomb, dazzled in a gold body suit and all manner of other curve-hugging creations.
KYLIE MINOGUE’s right hand man WILLIAM BAKER designed the outfits — and he didn’t hold back.
Meanwhile, knife-wielding martial artists, aerial acrobats, clowns, and scores of dancers jostled for space with her on the stage.
The mum-of-two has never been naughtier and she startled the 17,000 crowd with her risqué antics.
A kinky bondage theme featured heavily.
Male dancers sported S&M-style leather masks and a video segment saw the star in what can only be described as a sex dungeon.
Britney’s bound to face criticism for the filthy nature of the tour — which comes to the UK in June.
This is no family show.
But it is an all-action, eye-melting pop spectacle which even leaves the crowd out of breath.
Especially the dads.

Britney Spears left thousands of fans shocked after she was overheard referring to her genitalia during a live show in Tampa, Florida.
The singer reportedly told members of her crew "my p***y was hanging out" after performing her single 'I'm A Slave 4 U'.
The star made the comments after being lowered under the stage without realising that her microphone was still turned on.
According to Heatworld, the audience responded by laughing and cheering loudly.
Spears, who kicked off the global jaunt last week, has been accused of performing just one song live.
:eek:
Britney Spears's handlers have fired three of the dancers on her comeback 'Circus' tour for suspected drug use, it has emerged.
Headed up by her manager Larry Rudolph and father Jamie Spears, the team hopes to keep the star away from dangerous substances, The Mirror reports.
An insider said: "Because of Britney's past personal problems she now requires more insurance for her 'Circus' tour than before.
"It's a very rigorous process protecting all of those assets. Backstage her dad is beyond strict and rightfully so. He only wants the best for Britney.
"He's protecting Britney’s comeback with every ounce of his being."
Spears was recently picked up on her microphone saying "my p***y is hanging out" after being lowered under the stage during a performance of 'I'm A Slave 4 U' in Tampa, Florida.
Britney Spears is reportedly planning to change the setlist for her upcoming European live dates.
The star, who kicks off her mini-residency at London's O2 arena on June 3, is expected to alter parts of 'The Circus: Starring Britney Spears' with new mixes and dance routines.
Writing on Twitter, her manager confirmed: "Should be getting some dope remixes for the show today. Brits going to rework and choreograph a few numbers for Europe."
Spears is rumoured to be considering performing her 2007 single 'Gimme More', which was not included in her North American shows.
The tour, which has so far amassed a gross revenue of $50 million (£33 million), was recently extended to include dates in Ireland and continental Europe.
