Jeffrey,
I know exactly what you're going through. Anxiety is a major cause of depression because it inhibits everything you do and, until meds kick in, it's all you think about!
I am a college student and had HUGE success with Paxil 10mg and Ritalin 10mg for my social anxiety during my senior year in high school. After 6 weeks, I was talking to girls I never thought I'd talk to and partying, etc.
Two years later, I weaned off because I didn't like the sexual side effects and, upon my return to college, found myself living in the fraternity house with two roomates in one room and ANXIOUS AS EVER! Tried Klonopin which worked very well, but couldn't take long term. Went back on Paxil 10mg and life was awesome again until a month ago. I've been on 20mg for 8 days and my doctor prescribed Provigil instead of Ritalin because of tolerance.
When we're feeling great, we take if for granted! I can't wait to get back to feeling "normal" and going on dates again!
