In reply to Isolation and social withdrawal on EffexorXR, posted by Boots on November 9, 2000, at 9:47:27
I would think that the Effexor has little to do with it. I feel exactly as you do, including panic attacks and social anxiety, and I don't take Effexor. My pdoc prescribed Paxil but it's had no effect. It was my idea to quit my regular job and try working for a temp company, thinking that exposing myself to different people all the time would help me get used to social interaction.
Well, it's been hell for me. I hate it.
If you're enjoying your life, I wouldn't change a
thing. I think the people that need help with social isolation are those that want friends but can't make them. If that's not your problem, you don't have a problem. Who cares what other people think? -SGH
