cs and others: sociability

Hey CS-

Is there anything that can be used to increase sociability or motivation to engage in more personal relationships?

Don't mean to answer for CS but it could be a symptom of mercury toxicity

Is humifulvate the best way to chelate mercury?

I think IH, Prague, Nid and a few other major contributes on this site could back me up on this but check out

Mucuna Pruriens - positive cocaine-like effects w/out the drawbacks,
Relora - anti-stress & mood elevator,
Damiana - mood and confidence, and
Maca - mood, sex drive, energy .

Its also worth trying Lecithin, Ashwagandha (sensoril), and Niacinimide.

Am I missing anything fellas? BTW I currently have all of these and take Niacinimide with each meal as well as the others on a regular basis depending on what I am sensing would be most beneficial based on how Im feeling mood and stress-wise and the situation I am planning to be in coming up.

And of course, the healthier you are and the better you feel, and the more in-shape you are, the more social you will feel.. at least this is true for me.

Social Phobia?
OCD?
General anxiety?

Have you figured out where your issue is?

I would say general anxiety. I have managed to keep it down a little bit with iodine, krill oil, vit d and some other stuff. But alot of the time I'm not a really social person. I have a hard time connecting with other people. So there is some of a social anxiety.

Lots of good reviews on one supplement here...

I read 'mixed' results in various places but it's worth a try. I saw an interview with a doctor years ago ... he put a strong transdermal version on his friends wrists ... and claimed that within an hour, the guy became more sociable and positive around the people around him. Interesting.

This is a good article on supplements for anxiety which help with sociability. There are many supplements out there, so it is not all-inclusive...but I like it.

I would look into lithium orotate as well.

I second Paradox, lithium orotate is quite effective for social phobia.

Damiana can improve relaxation if sexual inhibitions is the case.

On my personal experience this also works great: hypericum perforatum

CS-

What are the mechanisms that make you more sociable if your take lithium?

1..... - I'm not exactly sure how it works, however it probably has something to do with its inhibition of inositol monophosphatase.

According to Dr. Jonathan V. Wright, who has used natural lithium in his practice for 30 years, he recommends anyone should try lithium if they have a member in their family who was an alcoholic, especially a grandparent.

Good info. I didn't realize that ... most of my family/grandparents have been addicted to alcohol at one time in their life.

That you simply aren't a terribly social person? Lots of people are like that. Lots of people are outgoing. Kind of depends on your genes and upbringing; probably more so your heredity. So, unless you are hugely unhappy with your social life/interactions you should probably go with your natural inclinations. It's hard to make a leopard change it's spots.

Figure out the probable cause for your general anixety - there may be pathological reasons contrubuting to your elevated level of anxiety (if that's what it is).

1. toxins
2. allergies
3. poor diet
4. low / high cortisol --> screwed up HTPA --> causing improper balance of hormones/NTs
5. imbalance of neurotransmitters

Try picamilon, see where it takes you - it is Gaba bound to Niacin. You can also try Phenibut, but it builds tolerance quickly.

Again these would be experiments to see if lowering your general anxiety will open you up to become a social butterfly you want to be...if you see a change then you go from there...

I have to chime in here - you can take all sorts of pills natural or the kind pumped by legal drug dealers - hoping to find the "magic bullet".

But at the end of the day, the solution lies within yourself.

I've had bouts of social anxiety at various points in my life (as has any normal person - I think public speaking rates higher on the "biggest fears" list than death).

My point is, if you are anxious in social situations:

a) realize it is actually normal - most people are a bit uncomforatble or feel awkward in a lot of social situations (personally I cant stand having to make "small talk")

b) try to view life through a wider lens - what the hell is the worst thing that can happen in any given social situation? you embarrass yourself? seriously - try to think of the worst possible thing that could ever happen that would cause you to feel anxious. Then realize that the next day, nobody is going to give a rat's ass that it ever happened because they will be too busy tending to their own lives.

In sum, I believe if you can change your outlook on life, you won't need any pills.

That's great advice. Once you realize that every other human being is thinking about themselves and how everything relates to them 24/7 (human condition) you realize how little other people actually care. If you look to your own experience you can see that everything you think relates to "me". Everyone else is exactly the same.

Alternative to Anti-Anxiety Drugs

Athough there are dozens of different names for Vitamin B3, there are actually only three different forms - niacin, inositol hexaniacinate, and niacinamide. The second two forms are just niacin molecules attached to other substances to change their molecular structure and therefore change their therapeutic benefits.
Niacinamide, or amide of niacin, is a molecule of niacin attached to another substance called an amide. In this form, you will not get the flushing effect(redness, itching, and heat) associated with high doses of regular niacin. You will usually see this labeled as a "flush-free source of vitamin B3", but make sure it's niacinamide and not inositol hexaniacinate, as the inositol form is also flush free. Among many other benefits, niacinamide has been found in both scientific studies and numerous user reports to have the same or stronger anti-anxiety effects than benzodiazepines without the dangerous side effects or highly addictive properties of benzos or the uncomfortable flushing effect of regular niacin.

Most doctors who are aware of niacinamide's anti-anxiety effects will probably start you off at 500mg 3 times daily and slowly increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. Some people require as much as 6000mg daily to achieve optimal results.

Although rarely associated with any side effects, you should always consult a healthcare professional before trying niacinamide in any high dosage, especially if you have liver problems.

If you are one of the tens of millions of people around the world taking Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, Ativan, or any other anti-anxiety drugs in a class called benzodiazepines, you might want to consider a healthier, natural alternative known as niacinamide.

Benzodiazepenes have been linked to some very serious side effects, ranging from mild cognitive dysfunction to extreme addiction to death. In the 1990's, statistics show that there were more benzo-related deaths than deaths from heroin, morphine, and cocaine combined.

Studies show that benzos can become highly addictive within just 4 weeks, and once addicted, it is quite difficult and can even be dangerous to end use of the medication even when weaned off slowly over several years. Also, in long-term usage, they can actually increase the psychiatric and anxiety-related problems they were meant to help.

So how about a healthy alternative? Not only one that can work as well or better than benzos without the dangerous side effects and with a similar mechanism of action, but one that has also shown in clinical studies to significantly decrease withdrawal effects from benzos.
