I tried kava once. The taste is so bad, the feeling of it lasted in my mouth for weeks afterwards. Also I felt a really bizarre anhedonic feeling the next day, but it gave a strong half inebriated kind of buzz. Like 1 or 2 drinks. Curious if others like it's anxiolytic utility. I never hear it being discussed. It has a high safety profile. I feel like it's at least worth a try if your seeking alcohol alternatives. I was alone when I used it, but I feel like the mood boost would help with inhibition. I found kava interesting cause it was like my senses were drunk, while my cognition was sober so I could be fully aware of how I was feeling, and that lagging feeling of drunkenness was easier to just observe in itself which interests me.

I have tried kava to before but its not worth it there are better things than that

I hear this all the time, and I hate it, cause it's not deliberate, or conscious. Just my potentially autistic speech patterns. Wasn't even being verbose I think. Probably just watched to much cringe Jordan Peterson when I was growing up.

Alcohol sucks because of how stupid it makes you and the next day. Pregabalin, and Baclofen don't seem to have any effect even at high doses for me. Maybe I'm expecting them to make me high or something idk, but I barely feel a change. I wasn't in a very social circumstance though. Shrooms are paradoxical because the thing responsible for inhibition is also responsible for bad trips. That one really caused regression. I'm planning on trying propranolol, Clonazepam, gabapentin, gb115, maybe an mao inhibitor, etifoxine, meditation, exposure, therapy, might try very low dose weed, and very low dose ketamine. Nootropics like cerebrolysin, semax, and I've also started taking ltheanine, and Ashwaganda which are probably copes. I would literally do anything to lower my inhibition. I have debilitating levels of inhibition. Like I can never turn on my parasympathetic nervous system around people unless I'm really really vulnerable with them.

U dont truly need all that and shrooms wont cause bad trip they are way safer than alcohol and other drugs, its not as crazy as you think it is i would suggest taking low-medium dose once 1-2 weeks. If your inhibition is realy that bad you could add to that these herbal energy drinks but for calmnes if you live in EU you probably know what im talking about. You should still put real effort to overcoming that.
Often the simpliest choices are the best

Herbal energy drinks are probably just placebo, like the ones with CBD and stuff I guess your talking about, and I'm literally saying I had a bad trip on my second trip, even though I halved the dose of the first trip. The risk is very fucking high for me. Some brains are just not suited to psychedelics I think. Glutamate signalling is responsible for bad trips, and inhibition. So I think it's high risk to take them if you have high inhibition, but I understand some people seem to get away with it for whatever reason. Also the evidence behind their long term efficacy is weak, unless you ego death which requires a high dose. Overcoming it by yourself is very slow. I need at least something to ease the struggle from time to time. Nothing has been that good so far. Hoping I'll find 1 I just really life. I'm really interested if low dose low frequency benzos could have high efficacy and negate addiction potential. That's the one I have the highest hopes for right now.

Maybe. I've just heard it has the worst side effect profile. I might give it a try at some point. It just feels unsustainable. Benzos sounded even safer when I read through some threads

Like is there alcohol level hangovers? Or can you function the next day?

I've had it a couple times and each time it really didn't do shit, I got zero sides but also felt nothing after taking 2g at once empty stomach, benzos are the only thing that isn't cope. The fact there addictive proves it actually does something
