To those with Social anxiety. What meds do you use?

[tybz28-#2]

Im curious to hear what you guys use. Ive had social anxeity for about 10 years and have been on meds for 6. All that I am on s Zoloft at .25mg ED, and I used to use xanax at .5g when i needed it. Xanax didnt seem to work for me at all. Is there stronger stuff out there you can reccomend? With me just coming off cycle on Clomid and the Social situations i have to face soon , i will need to be either very medded up or have a total mindset change. Thanks.

I am on Lexapro at 10mg a day, it seemed to have a decent effect for me, and i really like the way it makes me feel. however if i miss a few days i feel like complete shit, but i reallyl like it when im on it!

Only thing I've found that works for me is xanax or other benzo's at rather high dosages, and they are more of a temporary bandaid as you build up a tolerance quickly. I need to take about 4-5mg a day in order to even notice any effect.

SSRI's are not very effective drugs (except with side-effects) but seem to be used as a blanket drug for many things. Many times their prescribed to get patients off the doctor's back. If you feel like going the anti-depressant route MAOIs are more effective. Xyrem has worked great for a lot of people. It's also much safer than any anti-depressant or benzo available.

For me, nothing worked, so I moved to the woods...

xanax... but damn it can be addictive... make sure you taper off.
