Why does this seem to be a lesser known drug if I'm reading good posts about it? I was recently diagnosed with BP2, and I also have ADD...My biggest problem is social anxiety, and I'm not exactly sure what is causing it. It is so bad it's basically a physical problem, where unless I know you very well and am completely comfortable, which is very rare, I get very tense, my facial muscles especially, and I can barely even smile...it's been very hard making friends.
I take Xanax XR 3mg three times daily, which I know is a lot...my pdoc thinks we can wean that off if the lamictal works, I'm up to 100mg per day. I haven't really noticed anything yet. I'm also on a high dose of Adderall....60mg of XR in the morning, 30mg of XR 5 hours later, then 20mg of short acting 5 hours after that.
I've had the social anxiety for well over a year now, through times of different meds, dexadrine was before adderall. I've tried SSRI's (about every single one) and none have any effect.Anybody have any insight? Does this sound like BP2? What's causing the anxiety? What might I change?
thanks
