livingstan84 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I came across this link in an email by some PUA guy called Mike Pilinski. Its called A2X, and acording to the website its "The Only Non-Prescription Pill Designed to Relieve Your Approach Anxiety" Well I didn't buy it and of course, you could have absolutely no social anxiety but if you're not socially aware then you could have a really hard time connecting with people. Well I figure that insane approach energy and having trouble connecting with others is some form of social/approach anxiety. If you can lower it, it could help you focus more on the big picture. I did not order it yet, but it does sound interesting, and the PUA/Social Dynamic stuff has helped me, so I would take the 30 day free trial. I'm definitely open to any safe and legal enhancers. Here is the site to check this product out. And what do you know it was featured on XM radio. Here is the link http://www.a2xmen.com
Cracker Jack Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 That sounds pretty tempting. My SA is bad around everyone, tho--not just women.
Nexus One Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 They could be placebos. It would be interesting to see what kind of effect a placebo would have in this context. Could be an interesting social experiment.
hopefully Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Do they have something for girls who get nervous around guys?
Feelin Frisky Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 This is spam. But FWIW, "non-prescription" "remedies" for sexual issues are not to be trusted. If they were real remedies, pharmaceutical companies would be all over them and we'd see real products and people really achieving results. There ARE medications for social anxiety--including being "nervous around women"--that really do work. Usually they will be SSRIs like Prozac or Paxil and what these do is give a person the chance for pause to decide how to feel as opposed to having the usual situation of intense feelings seeming to just happen which then become too over-whelming to just wish away. An SSRI can defeat that sense of "impulse" where the feeling just seems to be triggered by a social situation. If a person can just have a fraction of a second to choose his or her feelings rather than just be flooded by them, they will LEARN how to choose the feelings that give them a chance socially. I know this first hand. Prozac allowed me the chance to choose my feelings rather than having my feelings swamp me.
musemaj11 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 People who are exceptionally nervous around the opposite sex are people with high sex drive. Ever since I lost much of my sex drive due to depression years ago, I feel very little even when Im surrounded 100 Megan Foxs.
Seamless74 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 i always found it amazing in my formative years how successful i was talking to women on a half of valium... its the best SA drug IMHO just takes a little edge off... damn i wish i had a scrip... Probably my favorite all purpose drug of all time...

And it probably would have worked for me, but I'm with Nexus One, I suspect they're probably placebos. Any mind/behavior altering drug would be heavily regulated and probably have to be prescribed.
somedude81 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 99% of the time I'm not nervous around girls. But when I want to ask somebody out or do something that shows I'm interested; I get terrified. It's that damn fear of rejection. Any "pill" for that?

I hear what you're saying about SSRI's but do you really want to be taking that stuff for the rest of your life? It just seems different to take a prescription anti-anxiety medication compared to an herbal one. I would be afraid that the prescription drug would dramatically change my personality. Although, I can't say for sure because I've never actually tried it...
aerogurl87 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Wasn't there something like this on the Big Bang Theory for the Indian guy who couldn't talk to women unless he was drunk?
