Here's my take:
Right now I take a MED called effexor which commonly used for disorders like the one you are dealing with. I myself have a anger dissorder so that is why I use it. I do not think AS has any affect on the MEd's that the DR. will perscribe if you deside to go that route. My advise is that you try counceling before taking any MED's . It has been my experience that the withdrawel symptoms associated with taking Meds such as Paxil are unbelivable. I took Paxil before and they tried to get my off of the stuff. The withdrawls where so bad that i had a hard time functioning at my job or just life in general. I actually went after My Dr. and started bitching at him asking him how he could do this to me. So after almost going insane from the sides they put me on Effexor just so I could get off Paxil. Well i found out later that the withdrawels off Effexor are just as bad.
Bottom line: try anyother means before taking MED's, but if you have to "and they do work" then make sure you know everything about the possable sides.

U say u start to panic when u are around people but u dont understand why this happens, I definitely dont think that's true, u say u are not ugly but that's not the case, a panic attack or a cycle of depression can be triggered by many things, it doesnt have to be physicall imperfections , maybe u dont like the way people perceive you in certain situations, maybe u dont like the way people perceive u at all, that's why it bothers you to be around people and specially people who u dont know, I would think this is something u've been carrying for some time, and it got to this stage probably triggered by the use of steroids or any other drugs. Have u been using any kind of drugs? Sometimes drugs will magnify any disorders in the personality(most of the times) as they make u realize and think about things u never did before. I think the most important thing before taking any medication is understanding what makes u feel bad when u are around people, most of the time people know the cause but they dont wanna aknowledge it because it makes them feel bad about themselves, thats a big mistake if u really want to get to know yourself. Medications will make u feel good but it will be like steroids, as long as u are on them u'll be ok, when u leave em u will have to confront the problem by yourself.
Good luck bro... After all, who wants to be a perfect ordinary son of a bitch? ..be ill , and be proud.

Sorry to hear that bro, I was recently diagnosed with having panic attacks, and have been taking paxil 20mg for abou 5 months. I feel much better now on the meds, but it comes back quickly if I miss some days on the meds. I thought I was having a heart attack the first time it happened. I was curious if the gear would mess with my meds too, so you are not alone bro, good luck.

Wow, thanks for all the support guys. I've decided to go for a second a opinion on this one and see what another doc has to say. Not that i think my bud is wrong, just want to see what others say. I tried to overcome my anxiety/panic attacks at a party i went to tonite. Let me say it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I was actually enjoying myself until somebody shouted out that it was birthday, and the BAM! I felt as if everybody was staring directly at me and everyone just stopped what they were doing. I nearly puked. My girlfriend knew that couldn't be good and she took me outside. i was literally shaking outside. That's kind of what i mean by it getting worse.
As far as my cycle goes (i was due to start OCT. 1), i'm going to start it with the intent on finishing it and see what happens.
Thanks again for all the support guys. You have been true iron bros.
cheers

just a note...
i have had no side effects from effexor xr 150mg... ZERO...
it has done nothing but change my life for the better. It stripped away a horrific eating disorder (night eating syndrome), allowed me to sleep again, and transformed me from a near agoraphobic into a social butterfly.
BUT my disorder was chemical, and exacerbated by ephedrine (because of the ep/norep effects). I am never coming off of it, so I have no worries about withdrawal.
This was the first medicine I tried, and it was my panacea, literally. It was perfect FOR ME...
peace....

That's right...
I committed similarily regarding the Bixorexia post...I think most of the labels given in recent times are just that, labels. Everything needs to be neat and tidy, understood, diagnosed and treated. HOGWASH. People are different, SOCIETY, deal with it.
Anyway, think about it, deal with it, 2nd opinion it, 3rd opinion it...meds are rarely the answer in my opinion for these illusive and subjective diagnosis. If an actual chemical imbalance exists that another thing, yet drugs may still not be the answer. Research this problem and read everything with an open mind and question all of it.
Good Luck either way.
Oh...how did you play rugby if you truly had the disorder? I mean you have to play with 15 tight knit guys against another 15 guys...

Rugger,
I can't really explain how i can play team sports and not get all messed up. I capatined both my High School Football team for 2 years and my rugby team for 3, but i never said a word. Pregame or postgame, i wouldn't open my mouth. I guess i was made captain as a silent leader and let my actions do the talking. I guess i just blocked everything out when i'm on the field. i don't see the crowd or anything. it's weird, but it's like my home on the pitch.
cheers

I myself have social anxiety disorder to. But I do have one question, it is hard for me to go out in public a lot of the time. But if you all are afraid of groups of people, how the hell do you work out at a gym where there is nothing but people. Most of the time I work out at home or go late at night when noone else is there.
