What are some good nootropics for low mood/social anxiety? 5-htp and Noopept and my favorites so far.

oh, yeah, EGCG (from green tea extract) inhibits L-amino acid decarboxylase which is responsible for the serotonin conversion in the stomach, so you should take that if you insist on 5HTP. L-amino acid decarboxylase turns dietary L-DOPA/Tyrosine into Dopamine too, so ideally add L-Tyrosine to your stack to account for the effects of the AAAD inhibition

Modafinil baby.

Is there a way to reverse or reduce the effects of this? I don't take it daily, probably only twice or so a week.

Just take a green tea extract?

beer

Yes, just dose it alongside EGCG/green tea extract. A little L-Tyrosine won't hurt either.

This mostly negates the downsides of 5HTP.

For low mood/social anxiety try Phenibut (habit-forming, 2x/wk max).

Been using it for about a week. Makes me feel more relaxed and give less fucks. I like it.
