Do you overdo it with meds to deal with life?

Right now I'm on 20 mg of Paxil. On one hand it helps, I can stay at a job without getting upset and quitting aftyer 2 weeks, but on the other hand it doesn't, I'm still a social retard with no friends and feel lonely as heck. My doctor gave me a prescription for Xanax on a emergency use base only, but lately I've been taking it more. I'm so sick of my brain overthinking everything in life. Sometimes I think I would be better off taking lots of Xanax and spacing out like a stoner. hehee

Clonazepam and Adderall XR is something I am going to be using daily when school starts. I simply cant really function without them in social situations.

I recently got started on 20mg paxil every day and it's working far better than the citalopram I tried prior to it. I notice that I'm much less emotionally heightened and definitely less fazed by day to day life in general. In the past I would take a valium in addition to my daily pill if I had some major event to deal with, and I may continue to do that if the paxil isn't enough, so if that can be considered overdoing it, then sure. Regardless, taking my medication with alcohol seems to be my guilty pleasure (if you can call it that). I tend to feel a little floaty when I do that, which is a pretty welcome feeling most of the time. Not that any of this is responsible or recommended.
