I am currently on paxil 10mg (any more and it puts me to sleep), and xanax low dose 4 times a day.
I also have severe depression, low drive, low motivation, very anti-social.I been on over 20 different meds mostly for the depression which was caused by accutane years ago. Prior to that the only problem I've had is severe social anxiety.
The social anxiety has been helped a lot with the paxil but still not enough.
What else can help? Often times I have given up on getting better on the depression/motivation/drive side of things so i'm going to try and see what can make me more uninhibited and more SOCIAL.I am so sick and tired of not being able to meet people and even fearing simple phone calls.
I need to get out there and meet people but it's so damn hard with this social anxiety constantly on.
Back when I was on Paxil + Ativan it was a bit better and I got to meet some people but these years I hardly ever meet anyone new. I just dont have the guts and inhibition to meet people.
So what on earth is out there that can make me more social? If it wasn't for the paxil I would be a constant wreck so i know meds can help.
Im seeing my doc later this month and I'll be trying some new meds. Probably something for both depression and social anxiety. But I dont know what would be good for both. Remeron is one I been considering.Any suggestions? Heck even if a med is just for social anxiety and not for depression i'll try it. I just need some options.
