What you need is a mixed GABA agonist NMDA antagonist (which is how alcohol behaves in the CNS)
Natural solutions there would be piper mythisticum (Kava kava) and Salvia Miltiorrhza both of which suppress anxiety and panic disorder and increase sociability
Stay away from psychostimulants that non-specifically raise monoamines as Noradrenaline excess (and hence CRH release) in the brain area Locus ceruleus is at the heart of anxiety syndromes
Other "gregoriants" or prosocial nutrients (Social Performance Optimizers) I use myself are nootropic (cognition enhancing) HPA axis (hypo-thalamic pituitary adrenal) modifiers like pregnenolone 50mg, phosphatidylserine 800mg, Bacopa Monnieria extract 450mg, Centella asiatics (Gotu Kola) ext 700mg, Withania somnifera (ashwaghanda) ext 1800mg
They all conspire to upregulate the GABA-ergic systems while blunting the NA-ergic pathways, an imbalance of which (owing to copper excess) is the primary cause of paranoia
potassium citrate 10g (3.5g elemental) is also a fantastic sympathoplegic tranquillizer comparable with diazepam for socializing -it must be taken on an empty stomach and lasts about 4-5 hours
