I also have problems with attention, flat affect, and social anxiety. I found that I couldn't get all of them addressed in one combination. So here's my experience. My base is Prozac at 20 mg in the morning and .5 mg of Xanax at night. For social anxiety situations, I add Abilify 2 mg. For work where I typically don't interact with people, I add Ritalin LA (long acting) 10 mg. With Abilify, I become social and outgoing (no flat affect), but I can't do my desk job well, as I get distracted. With Ritalin LA, I become focused and do my job well, but I have no interest socializing. Past experience: Dexedrine, Ritalin (regular), Lexapro, Celexa, Paxil XR (terrible withdrawal), Zoloft (terrible), Norpramine, Elavil, Valium, Klonopin, and Ativan.
