a few months ago I got put on 10mg Lexapro for anxiety and depression.. I figured that since it was an ssri it'd be effective for my social phobia (which is really debilitating when you're a college student) while tackling depression and anxiety simultaneously.. ive been on lex for about two months now and its working ok for depression and but my social phobia is still pretty bad (even having a simple conversation with somebody is frightening to me).. anways, i guess that the lexapro probably won't be the thing that's going to help with this so, instead of asking my pdoc to push my script up to 20mg im going to ask him if he'd consider putting me on a different drug.. like i said in an earilier thread, I'd really like to give benzos a try b/c I hear they can really help with this sort of thing.. is this true? are there any other drugs that anybody knows of?
