Hi Bex,
I can relate to what you are talking about. I have read a lot on this and have learned that many times the adrenalin of those situations can send your anxiety into overdrive.
I am taking lexapro for anxiety/anxiety attacks. I have found great success with it so far. I don't use my xanax that much anymore, maybe 2 times a week and even then I take half a pill. Lexapro is approved for generalized anxiety. If i start to "freak out" when in a social setting (even though i am SO social, but you can't help anxiety) i just pop half a xanax and try to relax until it kicks in. I have noticed a big difference on the lex though.
Good luck!
