Augh hang in there. Cymbalta really helped with just not anxiety but socially also. And I'm social to begin with. But Zoloft also. What is propranolo? Your not a freak, never say that as you will get on track soon. Keep us posted.š
Aww thanks totallytiffy1š propranolol are tablets for anxiety. It must be such a relief that the medication is working for you. All the best
That's a great suggestion.
helped me totally.or even talk therapy with a private councelor first then work UR way up to a group. U will see the difference in a few weeks as long as u stick with it...
CHEERS
Hello Mandy! I've had social anxiety/panic disorder for many (many!!!) yrs. now. I have tried many different meds. & what works for me is Ciprolex. I have lactose intolerance & Celiac. Once I started looking into WHAT is in some of these meds I saw a pattern. Pretty much all have lactose in them as it is used as a filler. One med caused me to bloat out like such a balloon. My doc thought I was crazy (not in the literal sense lol), however, changing to Ciprolex made such a difference (for me!). ( Ha! Ha! Doc. ) My point is, know your body and don't let your doc tell you how your med makes you feel. Only you can tell! Any side effects (for me!) Went away after a couple of weeks. I also joined a group for CBT, knowing get your triggers, and that helped enormously! ! Exposure therapy and looking ahead in life (not behind) Ask your doc if there is such a group near by. Mine was at a hospital and I had to drive 40 min to get there. It is all worth the invested time "for you!" . Don't give up- we are many- you are not alone. Best of luck & please do let us that replied know how you are doing.
