Original post in this thread

I have a very important speech to deliver tommorow, a cupboard full of nootropics but no clue which one would suit for this occasion. I am scared shitless and anxious as fuck, help! :)

I take Ashwagandha every day, does not help much with my problem but is one hell of a herb for general brain-health. I have decaffinated green tea powder at home, will that suffice as a source of L-theanine?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic

Green tea has L-theanine, but not in the dosages you would need. If you really have bad stage fright, then a stronger GABAeric might be needed. Phenibut can be used for this. Also, kava can help too. Apart from that, you will have to jump up to something like etizolam.

Kava could be an option for you. It up-regulates GABA-A receptors. It actually sensitizes over time, rather than builds a tolerance. Ashwagandha is an adaptopgen, and helps modulate your GABA system without building tol

Has anyone tried phenibut F.A.A. (free amino acid)?

Replying to oct5 · Commenting to come back to this later, as I've been looking into Phenibut to reduce golf tournament anxiety. OP, any feedback on the Phenibut HCL?

Haha, such a first world problem! Golf tournament anxiety. You could also try adding in L-theanine or valarian root. Adaptogens like ashwagandha would help too, and would have less side effects than phenibut.

How often should you use a GABA agonist?

Wait, you're suggesting he not try and naturally modulate his GABA system, but go right for SSRIs? I personally think that is not the way to go. SSRIs are more of a last resort in treatment, due to the side effects. The
