Answer 2

There aren't any drugs to improve self confidence as such. However, antidepressants can improve your mood and overall outlook on life. The best thing for improving self confidence is going to a counsellor to find out why you don't have confidence and to work on any issues you have. Were you ridiculed as a child? Did your parents not encourage and support you? Was there a teacher or other adult along the way who made fun of you? Everyone, including you, have so much to offer and deserve the respect of others. Make a list of three things you don't like about yourself and start working on these. Make a list of ALL the things you DO like about yourself and repeat it to yourself to start increasing your confidence. Join a youth group where you will feel accepted and make friends and have an adult that can give you some counsel. You might find a supportive group at a church or some towns have youth centers too. If you can't find a group to hook up with, call your local library and ask for the information destk and then ask them where you can go to find such groups. Surround yourself with people that boost your confidence and lose the "friends" that don't. Good luck.

Answer 3

No drug is going to improve your self-confidence. I was on all kinds of antidepressants and mood stabilizers... they didn't help! Therapy, support system, maybe read some self-help books, work out, eat healthy... honestly, the drugs I was on lowered my self-confidence. They made me worse. You start to think that it's just the drugs and that you're still no good. I don't know anyone on meds for depression or bipolar who the meds are actually help. They still can't function. They still can't hold a job. Have you ever seen a pill that will make you happier, more self-assured, richer, prettier, smarter...??? Do you see those shrinks that prescribe the pills taking the pills themselves to make them happier? No, because they know better. They're legal drug dealers and hand out prescriptions left and right to make money. What they don't tell you is that those pills can make you worse. I know of several people who have died from those pills, being overmedicated by shrinks who didn't teach them how to deal with the problem, just threw them on drugs instead of helping them.

Do something good for yourself, work on improving yourself, try to accomplish something no matter how big or small it is, that will boost your self confidence, not drugs. Good luck.

Answer 4

There are no drugs to improve your self confidence. Meaning there are no confidence drugs. What there is though are antidepressants. Those work by raising the serotonin levels in your brain. Serotonin makes a person feel good/happy. Not depressed. When a person is not depressed then they may feel more confident about them selves naturally. Self confidence is developed while you are growing up through doing thing and failing and trying again.

Answer 5

You shouldn't need drugs to improve self confidence. Drugs are used tio correct chemical imbalances / increase chemicals which are lacking. This cannot solve a lack of self confidence.
Even if you take illegal drugs which APPEAR to make you feel more self confident, because they reduce your inhibitions (eg alcohol) you will likely do things that you would NOT do whilst NOT under the influence, which would, when te drug left your system, make you feel worse.
Try CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) which works by changing your negative patterns of thinking for positive ones by unpicking the negative ones to show you that they are not realistic

Answer 6

WO,wo,wo! Don't go down that line! I'm sorry to say that taking false uppers always have the deeply shitty downers side to them. So stay away from drugs, believe me it's a slippery downward slope you'd be getting on. Self pity, low self esteem, paranoia etc!
Try going to the gym or doing any form of exercises, that will improve your body's natural feel good hormones, serotonin and endorphins. You can't beat the natural feel good! Good luck!

Answer 7

My grandmother gave me this teen self help book when I was in high school and although most of it was dumb there was one pearl of wisdom that really helped me: Pretend to be confident and you will be.
I've actually applied that to many other things. After a little while I am no longer pretending and I truly am confident or fearless or happy.
I think you have to train yourself to have the qualities you want of course it's easier said than done and for those moments when I am just overwhelmed I take a Xanax and it helps me calm down. I take them less and less and less now. They are kind of like my training wheels.

Answer 8

You may be more confident when you have had a beer or two but that comes with acting like a prat sometimes too, and a big fat hangover in the morning. Why don't you see if you can get yourself on an assertiveness course or something along those lines.

Answer 9

There are no drugs for self confidence. The best thing would be to see you doctor and ask if you can be referred to a counsellor as they can suggest ways you could boost your confidence and also work out why your confidence is so low.

Answer 11

Take a realistic look at yourself, and try not to base it on comparisons to others, media images and messages of what we "should" be, etc. Most of what we fell bad about ourselves about is because of unrealistic standards we have adopted. What are your good points? use them, and remind yourself of them daily if necessary. Bad points-we all have them...try to minimize, change what you can. Be the best person you can be. That will help boost confidence.
