Your experiences, Willyee, are a worry because I was hoping a GABA drug or supplement might do the trick for social anxiety. Has it been the holy grail for anyone else? What are other posters experiences with the drugs Willyee listed?

I took GHB for years and found it very effective for social anxiety, far more effective than Klonopin.
I personally don't get on very well with the benzo's, I have tried Clonazepam and Diazepam.Although I found Willyees post interesting I have to disagree with some of things he says about GHB.
I personally don't think the risks outweigh the benefits, as long as one is careful and doesn't take it to frequently.
Yes it can be addictive, but it is not inevitably addictive.Also GHB withdrawal does not necessarily entail having to go to hospital.
I went through GHB withdrawal and although it was very unpleasant it ended after just three days.I still think that GABA is probably key in social anxiety, although dopamine is also very important, just my opinion!
