Check out the guys over at Mind & Muscle. They go into great detail about Nootropic use and the science behind it.

I had used Lexapro for a long time to combat anxiety......I no longer use it and stick with the following mix 2x day:

ALCAR - 2 grams
Piracetam - 2 grams
Choline - 1 gram
Tyrosine - 1 gram
Green Tea - 1 gram

I have switched in PLCAR and Anaracetam (sp?) to mix things up.....but for the most part, this mix works well for me. Sometimes if I know I will be in a high-anxiety social setting, I will take phenibut.....however, at high doses it can make you feel funny in a very good way

- Very high doses will leave you wondering where your pants are from the night before....LOL

gumbo can you descirbe your social xeniety for me so i can establish if mine is the same?

for me im totally not a shy person,and i dont give a shit what people think about me. but sometimes xeniety gets the best of me and i act nervous or shy with people i dont know and its the total opposite of how i am. before zoloft their was a point when i would get nervous and have to prepare myself to call up to make a doctors appointment or talk to a teacher. a few years before that thou i was the total opposite with out any meds at all.

Mine was similar.....I was going through a tough time with my ex gf, work was stressful, etc, etc. I always felt a bit out of place in social situations despite having lots of friends. I'm not a shy person, but would act that way in a social setting.....or I would be nervous for no apparent reason.

Lexapro worked great and had no visible sides from what I could tell. I just got tired of being on a drug for so long and was afraid that it might f*ck me up long term. The first two weeks coming off of it were f-ing hell....I was a moody ***** and would get emotional or very angry. I'm sure that was just my body trying to adjust, but it scared the crap out of me. Fine now though

I've also been experimenting with Deprenyl and love how it makes me feel. Apparently it has been shown to help prevent parkinson's disease (which totally destroyed my grandfather up until his death). I'm hoping that by taking small amounts of Deprenyl now, I can help prevent getting such a disease in my old age.

Try the piracetum and choline. Research the doses, I have a friend who uses this and says that he really notices alot more focus and better memory

Try imminst.org here http://www.imminst.org/ Go to their forum section and read away. I haven't been there in awhile, so I can't remember too much about the quality of the posters there.
