I have two friends one male and one female one 29 one 31. They both suffer from mild to moderate social anxiety and the female from general anxiety as well. I know that she doesn’t want to take prescriptions forever and was wondering if any of these can help? advice please! 
I don’t know that pheromones can actually take the place of medical prescriptions, but they do definitely help (or have helped me anyway) with issues of confidence and social anxiety.
Androstenol would be what they are looking for. Helps to ease in socialization and talking, the main three products are
Instant Honesty
Instant Openness
Come Talk to me 2 (more of a 50/50 of IH and IO)
It’s really intricate, as there are two types of Androstenol, you should search the forums
social anxiety is actually pretty easy to get rid of. i’m talkin from experience here. basically it’s a fear, just like any other fear, you have to desensitize yourself from it. the more people you talk to the less fear you will have. easier said than done but that’s really all there is too it. a lot of it has to do with social training also
I happen to suffer from every anxiety disorder in the book (including social and generalized anxiety), plus am taking meds and know how they feel. 
Controls your life! Horrible bugger that anxiety mofo is.
Now, Im no guy (I think.. LoL) so I’d stick with what kennyken747 said, 'cause I dunno if my remedyness works same for guys or not but.. As for the chick, I know it’s not the same pheromone experience with EVERYBODY, but just to put it out there:
1 spray of IJ + 2 sprays of IO + 2 sprays of IH = Anxiety-fucking-badass-free. <3 & it feels SO good to be anxiety free without having to dose up on my sedatives. Confidence, yum.
Works perfect for me, so I decided to share it anyway. Hope both of them get over their anxiety.
I really want to try that Instant Jerk!! I’m going to try looking for that darn bottle this weekend, grrrr
^.^ Uber help for one girl.Not a party animal yet though piffle!^.x
I’m having good results with the pheros and I have seriously bad social anxiety.>.< meds didn’t help therapy was lovely but I was told my reactions were normal considering the things I’ve seen in life..
I believe I told my Mother on the phone a week or so it was so much more effective than years of therapy for me.It’s not a cure in a bottle some people may be helped more by standard meds.But I gotta say for me I feel like a normal person again and I’ve been through a lot so thats saying something.
The socials help me a lot I personally have a preference for instant honesty over instant openness and found shine kinda makes me more edgy but thats a person to person thing.Ammo so far is the best aid I’ve found especially combined with either instant honesty or instant openness. CTTM2 does help but its a bit of overkill for me and is too much too fast on the social end w/o the confidence boost that I tend to have with honesty or ammo.Plus for me I get almost a hangover from it the next day.
I’d say for a guy instant shine + instant openness. Although the boys may have their own advice and I defer to them on this. But for the girly some of the guy pheros have good self effects just keep it below the general male level so one shot vs their 3 maybe add a touch of IS/a or IS/b( careful with is/b its a more sensitive one after a few sprays) .My boyfriend is ok to two sprays of ammo on me but once it hits 3 its grrrs across the board.
My preferred formula is 1 shot of ammo on my wrists 2 shots or more of instant honesty to bosom hair and nape of neck.I prefer to use instant openness more towards the crown of my head because I like the way it effects others more than how it effects me.
I would get the to gos and let your friends try them no promises no demand.The chance that pheros may help is worth it.
I would like to also mention that for me it wasn’t an instant whoa kind of thing but after trying these lil buggers for awhile the difference is obvious.
It doesn’t fix the psychology but it does make it easier to get your mind in the right place to climb out of that “oh god” feeling when you’re around people.
My girlfriend can’t stop commenting on how much more I’m smiling these days and for once I don’t cringe when someone veers my way to chat. Instead I toss my hair and cut them a cheeky grin. Now thats turn around.
Social anxiety is one of the least understood psychological problems someone can have.
Its more than mere shyness. It is really the fear of any social situation.It can be limited to phone conversations or just parties.However, when it gets bad you feel like a ghost to the rest of the world because no matter how much you want to reach out that fear is still there.
I had really hit a very agoraphobic stage with my anxiety. I couldn’t leave the house alone.I’d shut myself in my room a lot.Talking to new people.. Just didn’t happen.So it is more than a relief that things are getting better.It was kind of like resetting my brain to an earlier point in my life.
Thanks again to my forum mates here on pherotalk and to Androtics n co.
I love the people on this forum you have a lot of good answers already
Maybe with all this brain power here we can come up with something that will help. 
On a personal note and a big duh medically. No medication for psychiatric welfare should be stopped without DR. consult and most of them should be tapered off.
My dad was a casualty of Ritalin extended release for adult ADD.
I’m surprised noone has mentioned Mx274 yet! It’s my favourite for relieving anxious stress & creating a harmonious & friendly environment
For boosting self-confidence my own personal faves are IS/a, IS and CTTM2
P75 might be worth looking at.
Interesting choice Warren. P75 is really dosage dependant for me. I bought it to high and should have gotten it at 5.0 mcg or less so I have to dilute it.
I dont really have social anxiety but it does make me more outspoken, In high dosages I can be beyond blunt and opinionated. This ones interesting. Oddly while blind testing it on subjects I found a bluntness bordering on rude. I had to wash it off one guy LOL Low dosages not bad though.

Tisha,
Very interesting observations!
I’ve been experimenting with P75 over the past several weeks. I think 2.5mcg is more than enough. In most cases 1.0 or 1.25mcg is even better.
My post on P75 and “stage fright” is here. Click here.
[
It hasn’t seemed to get much notice. It’s at the end of a thread on TAA and TAC. P75 seems to be the magic element that makes TAA and TAC play well together. I’ve been looking for that for a long time. Some people think it is P74, but I find P75 far superior.
I do think of P75 as being masculine. It would be interesting to know more about how women experience it.](“ TAC vs TAA test reports, starting at the gym, with P74 and P124 effects ”)
Interesting!!
I probably have to go to court sometime in the near future about a restraining order, and I’m slightly petrified because the person I am putting it on will probably be there, plus I will probably have to speak.
I have always hated public speaking. I even joined Toastmasters when I was in grad school to help me get through presentations.
I’m great in smaller groups or around people I’m comfortable with, I don’t know why I have such a hard time with it 
SK, look at p80 as well. PM diane about it.
For your female friend, see answers in this thread:

Try P74 at 25 mcg applied under the nose. Turns me into a chatterbox. A drop of A314 under the nose really boosts the confidence and is good for a male, but the manly vibe might not be what you want as a woman - a woman should try TAL instead, giving the vibe of a female alpha. P130 , Liquid Sunshine, TAA and Alpha androstenol are good for relaxing and spacing out. For comfort TAC at 25 mcg or more is great, just don’t apply it in the evening since it tends to give you vivid dreams. Instant Openness and double strength Shine and Come talk to me really opens other people up and this will make you open too, even if the actual self effect may vary (I myself do not get strong self effects from these but the openness of others affect me).
This helps me out a lot! I have just purchased P74, so will give it a trial run and report back on SA effects
I was suffering from social anxiety a few years back and using some of the products from Androtics on an almost daily basis helped me with that problem.
Some of the products that helped me were p83, p130, p93,MX300, ISA, IH, and IS.
