Diagnosis: Social Anxiety with Avoidant Personality, Obsessive Thoughts
1. Would medicine have you taken which you could say was 'great', 'awesome', and/or 'wonderful':Ativan, Neurontin, and Inderal LA.
2. Of this medication what dose were you on?Ativan 2mg/day
Neurontin 1600mg/day
Inderal LA 160mg/day
3. Did you decide this med for yourself (suggest to doctor) or did the doctor?Except for the Ativan, I have suggested every med that I'm now on. I even had to bring in research to show my doc that Neurontin has been used to treat social anxiety. I'm also taking Celexa 60mg, at my suggestion, but it doesn't seem to be doing much yet.
4. What 'great' or 'awesome' combination of drugs have you been on?The Ativan is wonderful for those times of anxiety that have no reason.
The Neurontin and Inderal LA work hand-in-hand in combatting my anxiety. I love them!!!!!! As well, I never could have tolerated the start-up anxiety from Celexa without those two meds in my system.
