hahaha try coke or some norcos...hhaahha

The straight answer is no, there is no real effective medication for social anxiety, because social anxiety is a combination of 1) lack of social experience and 2) accumulation of negative social experiences due to real or imagined fears of rejection or failure. As you probably know, these two are self perpetuating, and feed upon each other.

There are medications that increase certain chemicals in your brain temporarily, such as serotonin and dopamine, but the effects are temporary and come with side effects. You will feel more relaxed/sedated/euphoric while on these medications however, and that contributes to dependency and/or addiction.

Do what The Doctor recommends in one of these threads around here and simply practice approaching random people, maintaining eye contact, and saying "hi". Try not to worry about what they think. Try not to worry about how you may appear to them. You will do both of those things at first, but given time, and dozens upon dozens of random approaches, you will subconsciously become accustomed to it and your social anxiety will decrease.

Think happy, positive thoughts, reward yourself after each session. When you start to think negative thoughts about any particular encounter, pinch/punch/bite yourself so that association is related to pain, and do this enough and your brain will want to avoid making that relationship. Sort of like house training your dog, but instead of the dog you're training your brain. Make sure to associate pain with the "inner voice" in your mind that makes you feel self conscious/anxious/embarrassed.

I've done this, and my anxiety is the lowest it's been in years. If it works for me, it'll work for you too.

There is learned social anxeity and hard wired socail anxeity. Beleive me most of you guys are not hardwired to have these anxeities.

As someone else mentioned there are plenty of negative side effects as well, most notibly that if you do not have REAL (hardwired) social anxeity, the meds may actually make your anxeity, insecurities, or problems in general worse.

The same goes for any kind of stimulant type drug usually used in SPAM of ADD/ADHD. These problems occur because of an over activity in the brain and surprisingly enough stimulants have a reverse effect on people afflicted with ADD/ADHD and actually slow thier brains down to normal. However when someone without ADD/ADHD takes them it speeds them up like crazy.

Now im not gonna stand on a moral high ground here and tell you that drugs/drgu abuse is bad and you shouldnt do it. However the idea of PUA is to make positive life long changes in your social interactions through long time self betterment. Popping a pill or slamming drinks back is a temperary fix at best, and leads to another thing called dependance and abuse.

Hope this helps guys.

Drugs for social anxiety.

Sure..

I think it's called alcohol.

I used to use rum and coke..

Works great. Just don't drink too many of them.

2 or 3 max should put you in the right frame of mind for a few hours of gaming in a club. Then switch to water with lime or lemon in it, so you're in good shape when it's time to leave, escalate, etc... If anybody asks what you're drinking, say it's a vodka tonic.

Just remember if you start depending upon alcohol to cure your social shyness your day game will suffer.

Drinks, meds, in the short-term, they both work. However, they both have their downsides.

A plus for alcohol is that it's readily available and with it's sedation effects, it reduces anxiety. On the other hand, it's easy to over do it. If somehow you over do it and you still have some game...your equipment may not be in working order.

For anti-anxiety drugs, the bottom line is that you may get rebound anxiety, which is worse than the initial anxiety. Then you have to be on them all the time, just to overcome the anxiety that's driven by the drug's effect on the chemicals in your head. You don't wanna run around your life being all drugged up. (This is, obviously, not 100%, but it's a possibility.) Another aspect to taking meds is that most sarging takes place in alcohol-serving establishments, it's easy to drink, maybe someone bought you a drink. It's not a good idea to drink while you're taking medications that cause any type of sedation.

I still have quite a bit of AA and I'm getting over it by hanging out with a friend of mine who must be lacking the gene that drives AA.

My humble opinion is that either you get over your anxiety on your own or seek professional help, like a therapist.

Oh yeah Rum and Coke do help a lot!!!. I was discussing something with a girl and out of no where she asked me get her some coffee because she was tired so i said "hell no, get it yourself", she called me an ass, then i told her to blow me, she said" You Wish". Then with the rum and coke in my bloodstream I just said this with no consideration" Don't worry you going to want to later" She said " OMG, I can't believe you said that" I told her" You won't believe what else i can do to you, And i can't tell you though, I don't know you yet" LOL Rum and coke is the best when the energy is intoxicating.

You don't need drugs. Just face your fear, and accept that you may fail. If you don't even try to overcome your fear than it will forever control your life. If you need a pill to help you overcome problems like fear it will control you forever.

i like weed to help with social anoxity. i usually smoke a blunt or a couple of bong hits before leaving the house just to keep me at even keel and loose. plus unlike alcohol or pills there is no physical addiction. i do drink a couple of rum and cokes while i am out to keep from tensing up but usually no more then 2 or 3 unless i want to just get shitfaced.

A mixture of cocaine and alcohol should do the trick.

I'm a musician, so I sometimes use beta blockers to cure performance anxiety (I get it pretty bad and it can be pretty embarassing sometimes). When they're working I feel a lot more chatty and friendly and my game probably improves, but like these guys said it's probably not the best of ideas to use any sort of drug as a crutch for social anxiety. I'm a recovering depressive and used to have agoraphobia and the best solution I found was a combination of long-term meds and social exposure. Don't be afraid to fuck up. Go out with the intention of getting shot down by girls - make it a joke with your friends. Ring them up the next day and laugh about how many HBs shot you down, because it is funny and you know that it's their loss.

That is WAY too much for AA. Cocaine should do the trick just fine.
