I've heard that 5-HTP is really good for serotonin to get to the brain. My mom takes it a lot and she hasn't had any side affects. I don't know though and I certainly wouldn't advise taking anything without double checking with a doctor

I've tried about half of those and Inositol powder is the only one that made significant difference. I mix 3 teaspoons a day with water (source naturals brand)

Yes, you are really looking at an expensive "clinical trial!" I can't tell you about all of these, but I would definitely use the Valerian at night and the Rhodiola during the day. Since beginning a regimen of Rhodiola rosea earlier I have been much better with the social anxiety, even talking to strangers at events, being friendly to clerks in stores, etc. My partner has seen a 'great change' in me. You can find any number of valerian products to help you with sleep, and Rhodiola stick to the good ones. I use the Verde Botanica products. Good luck for you and let us know what happens in your big trial! By the way, another good product is a little shot glass size bottle of probiotics juice called Good Belly that has a bunch of the ingredients you are looking for in it. You can get that at grocery stores by the yogurt area.

I've tried a lot of them. most of those I tried did nothing for me. I'd recommend you try taking about 2g of tryptophan at night to improve sleep and mood. and then about 2-3g of phenibut for anxiety during the day. phenibut works just as well as alcohol or valium for my anxiety and miserable personality, and its effects are very alike. Picamilon might work as well as phenibut, because its similar, but I've not been able to try it yet.

My opinion, you should see a head doctor. Let him/her prescribe you something that the doctor can monitor.

How about mangesium for the anxiety with a little taurine. Taurine is an amino acid that reduces adrenaline. Manganese and tyrosine you could use to boost Dopamine production, which will also ease some anxiety and elevate confidence and sociability.
