I've been on Xanax XR for a while now and it's not helping my social anxiety at all. Some of you know by now that I've been going on about this quite a bit as of late, it's just because I have my first appointment tomorow in over a month, and I want to try a change. 99% of my anxiety is social, with people I'm meeting, approaching girls, avoiding groups of people, basically avoiding anybody I'm not 100% comfortable with.
I even find myself unable to naturally smile with my grandparents! Is this something other than just social anxiety? I'm trying lamictal and am up to 100mg daily and i think it may be working, but nothing much yet....i still get completely anxious and have to avoid parts of my office, take different routes to avoid contact with most of the people I do not know very well, because I know I will appear awkward etc...Should I try switchin to Klonopin? I think the problem lies deeper than social anxiety, with the whole "unable to smile with my grandparents" issue. Just saying people that close to me, yet I still feel so physically tense I cant even just be relaxed, even if I'm on 3mg of xanax xr.
thanks
