I was on 14mg of Xanax XR, which didnt do a thing. I was so socially anxious I could not make friends at work, I'm sure I was perceived as quite the weirdo. I switched over to Klonopin, and finally 14mg of that daily seemed to do the trick, however I obviously had bad side effects. Horrible decision making, spending problems, etc. I have since gone on Lithium (1200mg) and am weaning off the Klonopin. I'm down to 3mg daily from 14mg only about 4-5 months ago! The best part is, my anxiety has remained the same as it was on Klonopin (almost nonexistent).
Has lithium ever been documented to help Social Anxiety or was I just going after the wrong problem? Confused....
Thanks
