    Best supplements for social anxiety?


    I've used phenibut and it works really well but tolerance is a quick issue with it. Have used picamilon but it's effects are more similar to cannabis to me. I've noticed some decent effects with a ALCAR,Taurine,Tyrosine mix but looking for something I can take on a regular basis without fast tolerance. I'm gonna try some powerfull to see what enhancing dopamine does but i'm also looking for some other suggestions. thanks

    adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha or rhodiola could be helpful...also magneisum, holy basil, and relora might be worth looking into.

    I'm the opposite, uppers like venom take my anxiety away the best. Just pure energy so you can't even worry about anxiety (yes this is rare so don't take this as a sugestion)

    re. phenibut......yes the body build tolerance to it real quick. If you want to keep taking it then increase the dose by roughly 20-25% to get an effect.

    what about beta-blockers? Have you tried them?

    I would stay away from benzos unless absolutely needed.

    Agreed, but ones underlying phsychological issue is far greater an issue than getting lean. That is why the disclaimer about being a serious issue was on there. This forums number one reason is to stay safe.

    That's what i'm looking for. Need to be more social. I've lost my fire. Life,depression, ext.. has really taken the life out of me. If I can get myself going and actually want to talk to people the rest will take it's course.

    I'm gonna be starting a pharm grade tribulus and avena next week. Will these do the same things as maca?

    lack of social interaction is what likely got you here in the first place and thats huge that you realize this. depression and not much appreciation for life are common effects for those who isolate themselves from the world. bodybuilding is a demanding, selfish lifestyle so this result isnt uncommon. do you have friends or family near you that you can connect more with?

    as far as supps go, i have to agree with an above poster in that stims like venom and stim x make me wanna talk to everybody. the extreme energy and focus has me telling everybody whats on my mind no matter how well i know them.
