Okay chemist and snapper and all other interested parties:
I suffered from depression and social anxiety for many years. The anxiety flowered into full-blown panic attacks. I was very shy and would always cry in the corner at parties--my whole life.
Now, I take Celexa 20mg. for depression and BUSPAR 15mg 1 or 2 times a day and can enter any social situation with confidence and grace. If I have a particular taxing social engagement, like modeling on a runway, I pop a Buspar 20 minutes before I'm on. It works miracles for me.
It's my feeling that many people are jaded to the effect of these psychotropic meds, but I also know that I am more med-sensitive than most people. I did take Klonopin but that was way too strong for me and knocked me for a loop; I might as well have been unconscious 24/7.
That's all I can tell you folks. Thanks for engaging.
Mimi
