Social Anxiety

4

Been on Lexapro about a year now. 30 mg. It seems to be losing its effect it once had. It still works just I am back to having social anxiety. What is a good addition? I heard Buspar may work well. Suggestions to talk to my Dr. about?

Does anyone who feels awkward or anxious in social situations overcompensate and try to prove to themselves or others that they don’t have a problem by being involved in numerous activities, groups, and events?

For example, I know a guy who seems to have social anxiety, yet he is a president of a club, a brother in a fraternity, a member of an activity group, and a bunch of other things. This surprises me since I would think someone with this problem would avoid all social situations. What do you guys think?

I know it is supposed to take several weeks to help depression but is it the same with anxiety? I feel that social anxiety is a bigger problem for me than the depression itself.

I’ve been taking 10mg Prozac for 2 weeks and just 3 days ago my doc took me up to 20mg.

I want to know all the differences. And how often do normal people have moments in their lives when they feel like they have social anxiety?

I sit at home alone, most nights, just researching stuff on the computer, working out, watching tv etc. I have a social anxiety issue so just going to a bar and meeting people is really scary thought for me. This really sucks. I have a couple friends but it seems that they are busy or don’t think to call me. Even if they did invite me out, I would feel so uncomfortable going. Any one have advice?
