I used to take 20mg of celexa and then switched to paxil when I told my psychiatrist that it didn't give me any beneficial effects. I didn't notice paxil giving me ANYTHING so...


I don't really know if I even should be taking meds. I don't really have panic attacks or anything, I just feel really shy because of social anxiety, but never anxious enough to have a panic attack. I also feel sad when I see other people who are more social and better looking who have everything that I want..

But see, that's not really a chemical imbalance that's causing my sadness and shyness.. it's just social conditioning, really. It's learned behaviors..

So can meds really help me? I feel even kind of embarassed to contact my psychiatrist again because I told her meds don't help me and stopped seeing her..

You tried 2 meds and now you wanna give up? You need to have more experience with meds before you can claim that they wont help.

My meds have reduced my anxiety by 60% or more. Try a benzo such as Klonopin mixed with an anti-depressant like Lexapro.

How bad is your anxiety? Sometimes I'm not sure if I even have anxiety, just really low self esteem so I get shy and afraid people will judge me.. but I don't really have any physical symptoms like sweating or panic attacks..

I'm thinking of trying adderal because I heard it makes people more social.. is this true?
