Does anyone have experience with pic rel for social inhibition and anxiety? Nothing really works for me. I have done cocaine many times, mdma twice, and I usually still am hesistant to approach women and in my shell about talking to people. I have friend groups too so its not a chronic internet rotter issue. I also have tried selank and gb-115, the selank helps with my mood but not for inhbition. the gb didnt do shit for me. Also have done propranonol and it gives me the most depressive thoughts, have genuinely come close to roping when I take 20mg and a night of drinking. It also does NOTHING for inhbition really. My problem is I just hate being around people and bad at approaching + I am a voicecel and shycel.People keep saying it is neurotoxic and whatnot but can't see how its any worse than a night of drinking if I am being honest. I hate how on reddit people will say its muh neurotoxic yet normies will snort lines of laundry detergent coke and drink till they pass out. Anyway tldr should I just take this shit for social inhibition and anxiety?
>>77150428honestly for just anxiety you'd be better off taking buspironethe side effects of that stuff aren't really worth it for treating anxiety alone
>>77150428The only thing that will fix social anxiety is therapy.Read this workbook so you know what you're getting into then see a therapist.>therapy is a jewish scam! its for women! ahhhhhIts your life. Waste another 20 years of it because retards on an anime pedo image board used frog memes to convince you not to, I dont care.

>>77150428I’ve only been on it for a week. For context, I am mid 20’s, have had chronic self-monitoring/hypervigilance, masked anxiety (at least that’s how I would describe it) as long as I can remember. People always refer to me as “stoic” or “thoughtful” when in fact, I was quiet because I was busy focusing on: “will I sound dumb/useless/etc”. This type of anxiety did not relax even when I was alone. I was sick of not being able to meaningfully contribute in groups or meetings. I always questioned my intelligence due to my inability to be socially fluent or spontaneous. I screened the majority of what I was going to say in my inner monologue which severely slowed down my conversational speed.This anxiety also made it difficult to track threads in meetings, further reducing my ability to contribute and leaving me to question my intelligence even more. I got my hands on some pregabalin, I take 300mg upon waking and do volumetric dosing in water for another 150mg spaced throughout the day. It is the strangest thing to experience, but my social anxiety is eradicated. Not reduced, but gone. 450mg total for now. Once I took 450 all at once and I felt drunk, which was embarrassing at the workplace. My personality has changed enormously (or maybe you could say it has been unmasked). I heard there is an initial intense prosocial effect, which I am in the middle of, that fades over a week or two, but the anxiolytic effects should stay consistently strong for months or years. No SSRI comes close. Same for buspirone and beta blockers. Pregabalin is wild. We will see what the future holds but atleast for now, I am finally experiencing what it is like to have no social anxiety. idgaf about side effects or the fear of withdrawal if i need to get off of it down the road. If therapy is the ultimate “cure” then I will face it later, I felt that I was out of time, and I did not want to potentially wait months or years to manage my issues. Try it out.
>>77150476Therapy IS a jewish scam. They have 0 incentive to help you fix your problems because then they don't get to make $200/hour from you. It's just a way to validate your shitty behavior.
just drink alcohol you fucking goobers. Alcohol is cheap and extremely well tolerated and straight up superior to all this cope shit. Even xanax is nothing but a higher risk version of alcohol.
You're not drugging your way through social inhibition. The only way you're ever gonna get comfortable is to suck it up and practice doing it until you get better at it. This is like trying to get jacked by taking steroids without working out.
>>77151313You're just saying things to sound cool and smart on the internet, but you're just another teenage retard regurgitating frog memes
>>77151445Social anxiety is a mental disorder.You dont get better by "practicing".In fact that just makes it worse because the mistakes you make (real or imagined) will just reinforce your cognitive distortions.
>>77150428>Does anyone have experience with pic rel for social inhibition and anxiety?No Clav, that and the Gabapentin are going to give you f'n Alzheimer's by 35.Dump the burn victim amputee grandpa stack and quit looking for shit-tier molecules everyone smart weaned off of 20 years ago.
>>77151542>Baseless claim followed by ad hominemNTA but it's clear from the fact that so many people now go to therapy that we're "treating" things with therapy that we used to work through in other ways.For example by getting our lives back on track.And as an advocate for therapy you surely realize that therapy is not a bandaid for social problems?
>>77151593Therapy is exclusively for women and faggots
>>77151612I'm not disputing that if you read my post. I just tried expressing myself in a more savory way.
>>77151543Social anxiety is not a mental disorder. Its a way for people to divert responsibility from their lack of interaction from others toward a label. To distance themselves so they can say they don't have control over something they 100% do. No different than drug addicts saying addiction is disease or fatties labeling obesity a disease. Its an excuse to remove personal responsibility.
>>77150428I abuse 300mg pregabalin on occasion and it's top-tier, but if getting drunk doesn't temporarily fix your social anxiety, I very much doubt pregabalin will. I prescribe you a weekly dose of getting wasted at a nightclub and talking (yelling) to fat girls all night followed by posting your progress in the weekend feels bar. >>77151445>This is like trying to get jacked by taking steroids without working out.Doesn't that work though? Well I guess it depends on how jacked "jacked" is to you.
>>77151922You will not look like you lift of you take steroids and don't work out. No, it doesn't work. If you compare side by side pictures before and after you might notice a little difference, but in the real world nobody will be able to tell.
>>77151922>>This is like trying to get jacked by taking steroids without working out.>Doesn't that work though? Well I guess it depends on how jacked "jacked" is to you.If you just get your test levels super high and do thing else it will slowly make you look more masculine, which includes side effects you might not want. For instance, think about the FTM trannies who look like shit because they think being a man is about being fat and lazy. Meanwhile the varbies who take much less anabolics look amazing and jacked because they do everything right fitness-wise.
