I was prescibed buspar twice for severe socail anxiety. The first time it helped some for about 4 months, then no effect at all. The second time, my psy added while I was on effexor and the buspar
made me very sick, so I dumped it in the toilet. Why bother., I have read numerous times that it is common to have only short time help. I still have found that lorazepam or xanax to be the best to control all the symptons of socail anxiety. But yes they are addictive and I have found Lorazepam (Ativan), to start loosing it's effectiveness over time, which is what I am dealing with now....good luck socail anxiety is very real and very embarrassing..it has cost me a lot at work and many other socail settings. I have been able to take 1 mg of Xanax and get up and teach a class, lead a meeting, sit through church...etc.....what is worse...to hide in your house with the curtains closed or addiction to prescriptions?
