I always go the ethnobotanical route, if possible. Sceletium tortuosum, better known as Kanna, is wonderful. It just can't be taken with an SSRI. Scullcap is another. Others include: Wild Lettuce, Sacred Lotus (N.N., not N.C.), Dagga, pure Ashwagandha Root, and of course Kava Kava (I find the powdered route best, but it takes time).
One thing I'd look out for is Phenibut. I was able to stop taking benzos immediately, and my social anxiety went away. But three months later, it has become the biggest regret of my life (and I've done a lot of stupid shit).
But I'd look for anything that is GABAergic (sp? Do I care?). Just do as much research into anything before going into it. Kava is less addicting, for you can go three weeks on, two weeks off. Just make sure you find a credible source.
And if Kratom is legal where you are, hell, look into it. It's been a wonder plant for me.
