What triggers the anxiety?

I have problems with speaking in front of groups, if I know I have to, I bang down a couple of 5HTP capsules or a few Diphenhydramine (anti histamine), or both. This works a charm for a few hours.

After a while the anxiety just stops happening as you have more and more good experiences in your trigger situation.

By the way, check if those drugs are compatible with existing medication. I know 5HTP is BAD if you take antidepressants.

Specifically, 5HTP is a precursor to serotonin, and serotonin is usually increased with many (but not all) antidepressant medications. Taking them together can risk something called serotonin syndrome, which is agonizing and potentially deadly. It’s usually at higher doses when this occurs, but it’s a risk worth knowing about.
