i wanted to get ***** XR (24 hour pills) so i could just pop one a day and be good. And once the effect stops coming, never go above to a higher dosage. I feel like if i could get 1 month of a SA free life and do some things like, you know, make new friends during that time i would be able to think back to when i was on the medicine and just repeat what i did!

Anyone here used 5-htp? Do you build a tolerance for it?
I have it. I am very insecure about my looks and that's all I worry about when going out. It is true about making people uncomfortable as well.
The amount of anxiety you have does not let you think of anything you say. Your whole body language, from head to toe, is altered. I think one of the key's to overcoming social anxiety is to teach yourself to relax in every and all situations.

A mega dose of Kava Kava will make you feel awesome like your drunk but it only happens the first couple mega doses. Phenibut is a sedative and saddly doesnt bring euphoria. But I'm thinking Phenibut and Kava Kava taken together would amplify each others effect and would feel like taking a small dose *****. But like I said I have yet to try this combo out yet so there's no guarentee.

i dont think i want to try that
i think what im going to do is try the 5-htp, taurine, and inositol....its cheap (i could buy all 3 from GNC for under $20)
im gonna go get it tommrrow...ill update the thread on how i feel and what mixes and dosages i use.
SuupaBu - if u have 5htp take some right now and tell use how u feel, haha...im curious!
--
The best thing about my social anxiety is that it isnt horrible...alot of it is actually because i feel like im not in control, or alpha lol. Sounds stupid but iv always been a control freak and then reading the alpha **** made me worse. I always think my voice is weak and "pretty boy white surburbanite puss" voice instead of manly. And the funny thing is alot of people say i have an accent like new york which means theres NO CHANCE my voice could sound like a bitch....but i still cant get that out of my head. When i feel comfortable about my voice and the way im saying words and putting them together i feel GREAT. Once i get selfconcious about my voice/way im saying things, i choke up and start trying to not looks like a p*ssy boy which in turn makes me look like one - in my own mind that is....cause nobody makes fun of me, they all give me respect! god damn i hate this ****

doc had me on ***** slow release for about a month along with zoloft, the slow release did nothing. so he put on the pink fast release tablets, those worked well along with zoloft but i stoped using both cold turkery because i didnt like the idea of having to rely on pills. long story shot i havent touched the pills in like a year and have almost compleatly beat it

When I am around a LOT of people (even large family parties) or the mall, and I'm not drinking, I break out in to a sweat and get dizzy. It's really not bad, you learn to live with it. I don't feel uncomfortable, I just can't take it. Perhaps I just don't like people? At least that's what my girlfriend told me (that I just don't like people). The only tip is...try drinking.
I would even say that it's more likely (as in NORMAL or TYPICAL) to be stressed in high volume situations (compared to abnormal/Atypical). No need for medicine, it's part of being human.

I'm not sure exactly, but I read that to prevent from building a tolerance, you should take it for about 4-6 weeks and then take a 1 week break from using it. Then get back on it. And so on.
I'm currently using some 5-HTP at 150mg nightly. I used to take it at times before, but I'm now using it regularly again. Along with it, I started using Inositol throughout the day (around 4 grams) and some Taurine at night. I started these a little over a week ago.
I started using these because I've been chronically depressed again lately, and I've been having major sleep problems (waking up very frequently). OCD has been getting bad, too. Additionally, my social anxiety had gotten bad as well, and I've been getting increasingly withdrawn the more months I had been off the Lexapro. I didn't want to have to go on another anti-depressant. All of these things were signs of low serotonin levels.
Overall, since starting the above, I seem to be steadily improving.
I have it. I am very insecure about my looks and that's all I worry about when going out. It is true about making people uncomfortable as well.
The amount of anxiety you have does not let you think of anything you say. Your whole body language, from head to toe, is altered. I think one of the key's to overcoming social anxiety is to teach yourself to relax in every and all situations.
Much of my anxiety is internalized. I appear calm on the outside, but I'm very anxious on the inside.

get thee to the GNC! hahaha......you just gave me a boost of hope although i am alittle afraid of what might happen if i take all three at the same time. Hopefully the worst that would happen is i would just get high, none of the 3 drugs seem serious enought to do any damage if mixed.
i cant wait to get this **** and see what it does...
the best thing is most of us are all young, im 18 and ur 16...we have plently of time to get this **** fixed. Thats why i want to get over now. I figure by the time im 20 i could be happy with myself if i work hard enough at this.
Before you try any of the **** we are talking about, do the "overcoming social anxiety disorder" tapes...u can download it at utorrent for free or buy it for $300
if u do the tapes first, then what we are talking about will be the final step...if u feel u need it that is

This is all really great advice.
These sort of symptoms describe my problems so I think I may have SAD myself but just never realised it.
I've always just considered myself "socially inexperienced", but maybe this is the answer. Is this anxiety a genetic disorder or is it something else?
I've been doing the immersion thing for a while now but because I'm naturally an introvert I feel mentally drained after being with people for too long.
So anyone got some online e-books or pdf's of where I can find some of these books on being alpha and overcoming SAD? I'd be too embarrased to buy them at a book shop :S

Like iv been saying...
1.) "overcoming social anxiety" by dr. richards (www.torrentspy.com)
2.) as your doing ^^^ above try to learn things that you feel would help u if u had more knowledge about (like sports,dancing, maybe take some fight classes like boxing and jui jitsu, etc. - NOT ALPHA MALE STUFF YET)
3.) read the book "how to become an alpha male" but dont worry about aproaching girls just yet - this book is all about developing an alpha personality so u are alpha ALL THE TIME not just with girls when u first meet them
4.) now start focusing on girls
5.) take it from here - fix remaining flaws - its up to u what u feel u need to do next
this is my personal way that seems like it will work to get over SAD, im still on 1 and 2 and have improved alot....and i feel the medicine will help me be more comfortable when i start becoming an alpha male

I've always been involved in some kind of sport. Right now I'm doing Muay Thai and going to the gym several times a week which puts me into social interaction. I've made some acquaintences with strangers that I can now hold a decent conversation with.
I've had girls approach me before but I just can't close on them because of SAD. It's disapointing really because they were really nice and probably an 8 on the scale and I genuinely liked them.
Only times I've ever picked up is when I'm drunk and that's not the answer.
So I'll definately heed your advice and look into this. Thanks for your help. Repped.

you can get ***** online with no prescription for like 20 dollars, yes, it isnt ***** though, its aplaprozam, which is *****, just a generic name, the generic names sell for like 4 times less, http://www.inhousepharmacy.com/anti-...nts/paxil.html
they dont have ***** though, but theres another site from india that does, youll start to realize that the brand names sold in usa, are the same damn thing sold in other countries, except their ALOT less priced
