As far as supplements go I doubt there is a single solution to what you're looking for. But a combo might well work. 1st you wanna sort out the irritability. 5-HTP and/or valerian might be a good place to start.
On top of that something for 'activation'. Ginseng, NADH, SAMe, Kira St Johns Wort (Kira brand seems the most activating brand of SJW I've tried. Others Ive found to be neutral or even sedating).
I've also read that, with time, taking Phosphatidyl Serine not only improves overall brain function (esp memory) but also help combat confidence and shyness issues. Expensive mind!
Basically your looking for the equivalent of a stimulant + benzo combo. Full of energy and motivation, yet with a 'cushion' effect too to prevent any angst or irritability.
Good luck in your hunt.
