What are your favourite 'drugs' For coping with day by day interactions and workplace in general?

Don't have any lol. Weed diminished my social anxiety hugely for a year after I started smoking, then started having the opposite effect where I'd get very stuck in my own head. Adderall was even more helpful for socializing for about the same amount of time until I developed a tolerance and all it did was keep me up and help me focus. Alcohol would diminish anxiety but then there was the embarrassment of people smelling alcohol coming out of my pores in ordinary, non-party situations.

I have also tried antidepressants and multiple anxiolytics (including beta blockers) apart from benzos - nothing helped. Apart from that I've used all sorts of supplements, and the only things I found helped were magnesium (for anxiety and depersonalization) and folic acid. These only worked for a week max though.

At this point in my life I seem to be resistant to the positive effects of any type of drug while being hypersensitive to any negative side effects. I develop rashes, experienced increased anxiety, or my hair falls out. It really sucks so I just try to cope without anything.
