Re: Celxa works better for social anxiety than Xanax!

At the very most, it's potentiating the Xanax, and I still think that's a shot in the dark...

I use to believe in what my head told me was how I responded to meds. Then one day I got Effexor samples in my hand, and I got the same euphoric, child-like inner glow I felt on day 1 of Celexa. Keep in mind this is with the pills still in their blister packaging, not even touching my hand's bare skin =)

So basically, the first SSRI you try, you get this feeling, you think you're cured, then maybe you are, but it's not the med, it's you thinkink you're not you. But in turn, this is still good anyway, so who cares? You're better, so good for you.

As for me, I think my meds have been wonder drugs to my social anxiety, only to "test" it out and find it pitifully failed. Only Klonopin and Neurontin (separately) will work (never tried other benzos) on my social anxiety. But Klonopin makes me not feel like talking, which I suppose is good, except for parties, where I'm convinced taking a drink or two is necessary (which is sort of true, since I get freaked out how calm/contented I feel as a wallflower while girls are upset I'm not hitting on them-- calm is fine, as long as it doesn't interfere with the mating process!!).

Well, anyway, another sidenote- Neurontin makes me talk a lot, but often in a monotonous tone or boring tone. So not worth it. But under-appreciated as a great thing to take when you've felt the most humiliating experience you've ever felt in your life, because it really is soothing, motherly-like.
