Glycine and Taurine. Either of those may help reduce your anxiety. L-Theanine might also help.
Glycinei is mentioned on the following site >

You can look up Taurine on this forum, it's been mentioned heavily and also L-theanine. Personally neither of them has been very effective for treating agitated anxiety for me. I'm awaiting an order for Glycine to see if that will work.
You may also like to look at a combination of 3 grams each of L-Arginine and Lysine.
"Anxiety
A recent study of 29 subjects with “relatively high trait anxiety” showed that dual supplementation with L-lysine and L-arginine (3 g each/day) caused a normalization of hormonal responses during psychosocial stress — i.e., the pattern of stress-related hormones that high-anxiety people experience during stressful experiencies (such as public speaking) was modified by the supplements so that it resembled that experienced by low-anxiety people."
