social phobia/anxiety

well i went...wasnt really what i was expecting...it was pretty cool cuz he prescribed me ambien and trazodone for sleep and he also prescribed me lexapro for depression...he gave me the number of a good psychologist...seems like psychiatrists are only interested in the medicine aspect..

hey. you took a step in addressing something you're not happy with. that's a good sign. you won't regret the fact that you tried. now give this stuff a chance. i'm taking Lexapro right now, it's pretty effective. and i'm not seeing any serious sides. hope the same for you.

i just wanted to bump this and see how everyone is doing. i know it's hard talking about these things in a forum, but sometimes it helps. i won't be saying much else on my situation, i've had the "go take your meds" or other jokes made at my expense recently. so i feel i shouldn't further open up for insults. i hope you bros are doing ok.....

hell, mine gave me homework. but it was good for me. got me away from the routine that helped me become the way i am. a decent therapist should at the least give you some answers.

Some people will never understand, or maybe they will, you never know when depression/anxiety will hit. As for me, I have been doing a little better, but I have been depressed about my hair. I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata at the end of last year, which started with two bald patches, and now I dont have any hair left, so that doesnt really help me battle my depression. Some say its caused my stress.

people generally have the i'm ok, you're ok attitude. they won't give you a listen until their world crumbles. and typically, they're never responsible for holding it together in the first place.

lexapro

you must not have read the whole thread...

well, this starts the 3 rd month of lexapro. i went thru a ton of sides and to be honest, don't feel a lick better. i'm just as depressed, maybe even worse, than i've ever been. i get xanax for anxiety, have been for 6 months now, and now they want to cut me off. worried about me getting addicted. well, too fucking late. i depend on them now. i can't understand how people expect to talk to you for 5-10 minutes and give you a bagful of pills and send you on your merry way. i get fucking headaches, everyday now, after not having any xanax in my system for X amount of hours. my range of emotions are angry to miserable. i don't feel like talking to anyone, i don't feel like doing anything. i have sex out of repitition, and have no real interest in it. in my free time, i do repetitive tasks or games on the pc, trying to avoid thinking about the next few minutes. 7 months straight of this shit. i've spent more time in waiting rooms than i have being treated. lack of the will to thrive.....
