How responsive/hesitant have you found your doctors to be to prescribing this off-label for social anxiety/avoidant personality?
I'd very much love to try this, especially since school is starting in a few weeks, and I have a really difficult time being around so many unfamiliar people. I did well on a very short course of Valium last year, taken on an as-needed basis, but my pdoc was unwilling to let me keep taking a benzo past about two weeks, despite it being very helpful, and despite me stretching the two week supply to over a month.
So, I was wondering if most of you suggested this drug to your pdoc or if they suggested it to you and then what was their overall reaction?
