This one is most efficient (especially for the ladies), a bit of a strange substance, it used to be called vitamin B8, but it's no longer considered a vitamin... Inositol is a "carbocyclic sugar". Inositol is found in many types of food, especially fruit, like cantaloupes/melons and citrus fruit.

It works
Inositol works against anxiety and even panic-attacks, inositol's actions are mostly unknown, or at least that was my conclusion after my somewhat brief research, but it works by helping out and balancing the neurotransmitters in the brain somehow.
I have read that bipolar people who take lithium, have low inositol levels, drinking loads of coffee also lowers the inositol levels, if you are (like me) a serious coffee-addict with the jitters all the time you probably have low inositol levels.
If I tried to go into detail about the action of neurotransmitters and inositol I might disinform you, so instead Im going to speak from experience.
Testing inositol on a anxious person:
I put about 5 grams of inositol in the coffee of a very anxious person, the test subject is now two hours later feeling great and is no longer tormented by any weird and uncomfortable anxiety, (don't worry I didn't do this to someone else the test subject was myself).

The problem with inositol
Since this is a legal and fairly natural substance you would wonder why Im not taking this all the time, and this is because of the side-effects. Im a man an inositol lowers the testosterone levels, (if you are a man having at least a normal amount of testosterone in your body is pretty cool, so this is why I don't mess around with inositol so much)...
For women who are trying inositol, this side-effect might not be such a big problem, it's also said that inositol might help with PMS and PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)...
One more side-effect, it can irritate your bowel a bit, so combining it with ginger could be a good idea, and the noise your stomach makes after larger doses can be pretty intense, so don't go on a date after taking this.
Dose:
1-5 grams to stop "normal anxiety"
5-10 grams to stop "strong anxiety"
15-20 grams to stop "a panic-attack"
Rating 4 stars out of 5
Where can I get it?
I sourced my inositol online, for cheap. Check your local "health-supplement store" or just order it online. I guess you could also eat a whole bunch of tangerines or something...
(Do some research before you order inositol and try to test it on yourself, and don't give inositol to infants or children, at least not with out consulting a doctor first)...
