BecksA,
I don't think I can answer your question, but I was hoping you could answer a question for me. I too am on Zoloft for Social Anxiety, and am taking Adderall XR b/c I have some ADHD as well. I have noticed that the Adderall actually helps with my social anxiety. I think the two disorders work together. But the Adderall still makes me a bit jittery/nervous sometimes. I have read some earlier posts on this site that say Dexedrine is a better stimulant for those with Anxiety problems b/c it causes less anxiety than Adderall and MUCH LESS anxiety than Ritalin. Do you have any fellings on this? Have you tried any others, and if so, how do they compare to Dexedrine? How does the Dexedrine feel?
I am upto 150mgs/Day of Zoloft for my social anxiety (with a touch of OCD) and have been on it for about 3 weeks now. I have not noticed any big difference yet, but at least I can still function sexually, which was not a possibility for me on either Paxil CR or Lexapro.
I wish I could be of more help to you!! :(
> Hey, I've been on Zoloft now, up to 200 mg a day, the dose I will most likely be staying at...I take that in conjunction with Dexadrine for my social anxiety and tension. I have noticed that it has helped me GREATLY, however it seems to fluctuate....sometimes i'll be great, and sometimes I will slightly revert back towards my old ways....comments...experiences??
