  1. Medication
    Most of my life I've been unhappy. I tell myself every Christmas "next year you'll be happy for the holidays" but it never happens. I've been in remission from SA before, but only during short bouts of drug induced mania (prescribed or otherwise). I'm not experiencing mania now yet the...
  2. Coping With Social Anxiety
    Hi everyone. Is it really possible to tackle social anxiety without medication in your opinions? My main problem is actually getting out there and talking to people. I don't have any sweating, maybe just a little bit of shaking but no side effects except fear I guess. Because of this I have a...

    I have been taking Paxil for a few years now and it helped a lot with anxiety but left me lacking in motivation and emotion, about a year ago i started on wellbutrin which helped with motivation/sexual side effects. About 2 months ago i was having trouble concentrating while doing homework so my...
  7. Medication
    I have been on both, but for only about 1 month each. I want to start back on one and give it a longer try. On Paxil, my SA was completely gone by day 2. But it made me LAZY. On Lexapro, it did not seem to go away. I realize ssri's take up to 3 months to kick in. My doc tells me lexapro is...
