It’s quite bad recently.
Going to ask pdoc if I can go back on my old regimen of abilify depot plus olanzapine 5mg. I’m currently taking 10mg of abilify and it’s not doing the trick.
Anyone else get really bad social anxiety ? How do you overcome it?
Yep! No idea how to overcome it or any advice for you – just letting you know you’re not alone in your struggle with social anxiety. I’m pretty much a suburban hermit
Seroxat helped me
Also Cognitive behavioural Therapy might help
The feel good handbook by dr burns might help
Can you get any therapy that might help
10mg of Abilify didn’t do it for me either. 15mg does the trick though.
I get anxious and paranoid and hit a wall when I try to go too low dose abilify. That being said, I am on a very low dose and have been on a very low dose for a long time.
yeah ive always had that. i really struggle with it. taking gabbapentin.
40mg of citalopram did the trick for me.
I too struggle with social anxiety. I don’t take anything for it. I just don’t get out in public much. Works for me.
yeah i would give up on public completely if i could.
Thanks everyone for your replies. I will phone the pdoc today and see what she recommends.
I used to have social anxiety to where i couldnt even buy my own cigarettes or talk on the phone or order fast food. Now i’ve learned to do those basic things but i cant have a conversation. I don’t think its social anxiety tho anymore. I think i went so long without talking that the connections in my brain that make language got weak. It is really hard to talk now but i don’t think its for the same reasons it used to be. Its like there are no thoughts and my words are blocked from my mouth. But that would make me anxious if i had to have a one on one conversation with someone.
Thought Disorder. Schizophrenia is a thought disorder – poverty of thought/speech.
Yes. My anxiety is terrible. I’m afraid to leave the house. I often reschedule appointments cause I get so nervous about them. My CBD has been the most effective thing for it the past 3 weeks.
Hello
I have problems with concentration, a lack the ability to communicate (it’s great when I write to someone, but when I talk to someone, I have nothing to say), I often jump from topic to topic while talking and except for the fact that I’m fat and swollen, you don’t know that I’m sick . I had a hard time last week. I was having coffee with my friends I was for a long time not socialization. With first friend I mentioned you all was great, we even talked the whole time, as if I didn’t have illnes and thought very quickly and well. but I got scared with another friend I was having coffee with.
She told that she ended up in the hospital and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. She tell me that her husband knows how to heal with some religious methods. she doesn’t know about my problem. and she told me how difficult her life was. I just wanted to say that it was really stressful what I found out from her.
I plan to see another psychiatrist, to see what he will tell me. I dont want antidepressants. I took antidepressants and antipsychotics for a long time and I have been traumatized since that period.
I have been struggling with illness for a very long time and I can’t get used to it.
Chatted with the pdoc and she’s prescribing me a drug called Moclobemide for my anxiety/social anxiety. Researched it already and it looks very good for this.
Not heard of it before now, anyone got experience of it?
Best of luck to you
