Gotu Kola was better for startle anxiety than SJW, Kava or theanine, but not as good as Picamilon. It was not prosocial, however. The reason I stopped taking it is because it caused fatigue and gave me pretty bad acne. Besides, I take Klonopin, so it's not like I needed to take Gotu. I was just trying it as a possible alternative.
I've never tried GHB, but I have no prejudices against it. However, I probably won't try it until they have an extender release version and I'm absolutely clear on the safety issues.

> > I've a q for you about Gotu Kola. You've mentioned in one of your posts that it was the best "herbal" supplement that you've tried for social-anxiety/phobia. Could you say more about it? What could it be compared to (which med) ? Does it make you only "not-anxious" or actually pro-sociable? And the last q: have you ever tried GHB(Xyrem) for SP? Thanks for your time.
