I took klonopin..(1 strip i finished..) took 1 tab a day ...well made me drowsy n stuff..and also made me gain weight..which is a big no no..so I quit it ..not gonna take it today..also made me constipated..so stopped it now......what to do..will goto a psychiatrist..dont think it wud help.I've always been shy..Hardly went to school! just went n gave exams..! Friends I have a few..mostly from the net! (But whats the use! They invite me and I shy off..) Once I know someone from the net im comfy wid them..Im talkative..else I'm not..Sad

I've started taking Ashwagandha..and also my bro's getting St.johns wort for me from abroad..and ordered for Homeopathic medicines for anxiety(forgot the name..will post once I find out)..What approach shud I take?

Hey alien,
Sounds like some social anxiety to me. In my opinion you have nothing to lose by going to a psychiatrist for an evaluation - that's what they're for, to help you.

Good luck

don't waste your money, homeopathic medicines are proven to not work (which is why european health services don't ever use them for any treatment and leave people to buy them at their own expense, if they so wish)
