10mg of valium or maybe less is good for social anxiety . . . pop one of them and you will feel at ease.

Over the counter you can take l-theanine . . its the amino acid from green tea that makes people like green tea. ITs a mood elevator and a mild anti anxiety that doesn't sedate you. 100mg-200mg will last up to 10 hours . . .

And if you have ever hada cup of tea you have it before.

Its cheap so try it before you go to the parties to see how you feel.

In one study 200mg of theanine was given to men in an anxious state and their brain waves rapidly changed to a relaxed but focused state.

The other good thing is to take a few grams of inositol daily. Stresed, depressed and/or anxious poeple were found to have reduced levels of inositol in their spinal fluid.

In some studies done comparing inositol to Anti-depressants, it was found that inositol worked better with less side effetcs.

One of the things it dfinitely works on is social anxiety.
