My form of social anxiety is very annoying. I’m not scared of people and I know that I shouldn’t be nervous because no one actually cares what you do unless you’re doing something that warrants attention. I have hyperhidrosis which makes my anxiety even worse, because when I sweat I get anxious and when I get anxious I sweat even more. I’ve been doing something research on some drugs for hyperhidrosis and for anxiety.
Hyperhidrosis:
Glycopirrolate
Oxybutynin
These are the 2 main drugs used and I’m probably going to ask to be prescribed glyco

Social Anxiety:
Propranolol
Pregabalin

Propranolol is the thing I’m considering the most rn since it doesn’t really do anything to ur brain so u won’t become dependent or get withdrawls. It also doesn’t have many side effects especially if u do a low dose. I also think that it’ll be really good since a lot of my anxiety is physical stuff like shaky voice, facial flushing, and sweating obv.
Pregab is enticing but I’m hesitant bc of the dependency.

I forgot to mention that rn I’m doing 300 mcg of selank intranasally everyday, but my spray is only 5 mg so it’ll be out fast.

So after all of that talk ig my question is what should I try to get prescribed first out of every drug out there. There’s probably things that I don’t even know exist that’d help me. Or should I just do prop and maybe glyco?

You're probably not gonna listen but stay away from pregabalin that shit fucked by eyesight up.
Great drug tho, shame about the sides.

Ik that’s always gonna be the best way to get over the anxiety but I mean the sweating is a condition I have that can’t go away so I feel like the glyco would be a big quality of life upgrade even when I’m by myself

No I def will listen I’m almost 100% not taking it since I want something I can take daily and Pregab is the opposite

What helped me was to try to make small wins everyday for example when I should’ve gone to the gym said day and I didn’t go that subconsciously act weirder. Idk if it will work for you as that’s more of a confidence thing but try it
 
imo propranalol is all you really need

could pair it with l-theanine tho for a relatively harmless combo

I’ve been taking a bunch of theanine but it doesn’t really feel like it’s doing anything

That’s why this is annoying bc I literally have confidence and not to be cocky but I’m smarter and better looking than most people around me. I’m just hindered by my nervous system.

Damn that pretty messed up. Just try to lie to yourself that you’re normal and don’t have anxiety. I do have those symptoms of my face twitching when I’m talking to someone or stuttering or not knowing to do with my eyes,hands etc. but you know what works best for you

That’s why I’m thinking that something simple like prop and glyco would be insane since they would get rid of my physical problems which is my main thing

Explain further please, I got those 150mg pills I ordered off indiamart, used only twice for sleep tho and I felt alright.
 
or just go up to people and talk to them mate
I do. It’s not like I can’t talk to people it’s just that if I can just take something that’d get rid of my physical stuff like sweating I’d be 10x better
 
Gb-115 can help if ur social anxiety is due to GAD like reasons because social inhibition is mainly caused by your GABA receptors not CCK.
Also pregab is neurotoxic and downregulates GABA; GB-115 doesn’t do that. It agonizes cholecystekinin-1 (CCK) which provides long term therapeutic anxiolytic effects

Alcohol
 
U seem to have a similar form of social anxiety to mine, I rly didn't give a shit abt anything, it's just that I enetered fight or flight mode easily and only propranolol helped a looooot! 40mg mogs
 
Probably already 85% estrogen anyway if you get social anxiety unless you have a condition again DNR so don’t know if you do
I’m pretty confident that I have some type of physical problem that causes it which is what I’m trying to and will fix no matter what

Exactly what I got man
 
What is the issue?
I get really hot
I sweat a lot
I get super anxious
All of these are symptoms of hyperthyroidism so I might have that
Could also maybe be a gut thing
I’m gonna get a bunch of bloodwork done and see what’s wrong with me and then I’ll try to fix it but temporarily I want to be put on some drugs that’ll help

Trust me, if this is the problem, consider it already fixed, propranolol 40mg will do the trick, u just gotta source it now! What u experience are physical signs of anxiety and propranolol eviscerates them

I saw that personally I struggle less and less even without propranolol, so it improved my anxiety compared to baseline! I only took it when I needed, I don't think I have ever used it more than 3 times a week and the only big downside is hair loss, it can cause tellogen efluvium, especially if u take it on a regular basis! So it's best to assume when u rly need it and use it about 1h before u need it

I have used it for almost a year(not daily), it def takes times to improve social skills, it doesn't happen overnight, but I would personally not use it daily as it can cause hair loss! It can be used daily as it's a bp med, but if u are on oral/topical min, u won't see this side effect! U could try ur luck and if u see way too much shedding and thinner hair reduce frequency
