Social anxiety and Paxil

Posted by S. Howard on October 26, 2000, at 16:31:31

Has anyone had luck with medication for social anxiety besides Paxil? I've been taking it for some months and expected to be hosting Tupperware parties by now, but there has been little if any improvement. In fact, I seem to be getting worse. I avoid my neighbors, I ignore the telephone and I hate work because making "small talk" is a nightmare for me. I even hate talking to my psychiatrist. I believe benzos might help but she will not prescribe them because I have a history of substance abuse. Most of all I feel sorry for my husband, who has to constantly make excuses for my absence. He's a very social person, and this is putting a great strain on our marriage. I'm even considering changing psychiatrists and denying any previous treatment or drug abuse so he might prescribe benzos. Of course I realize this is unethical and I might not get away with it, but I'm in a spot.
