Are you a guy or a girl?
"Getting laid" can be a big deal to a guy with or without mental illness, who hasnt had sex for years.
I guess it isnt such a big deal with most women however.

> My social anxiety is very severe and I would be a introvert regardless. I've taken klonipin and an ssri for it and they are helpful. Since I began abilify, I go up to people I know in the grocery store, I call people on the phone, and I'm much more talkative. It does have side-effects: good-I have a social life and the motivation and pleasure of it; bad-a cerain restlessness and the possibility of long term effects. For me, there isn't a whole lot of choice. Abilify works for severe social malfunctioning. If, however, you can use cognitive therapy and other meds and get the same result, you should use those approaches.
