Every thing u described about your social life i can relate to DIRECTLY,least know that much!
I was lucky enough to emerge mine at 20 yrs old so i did not have to endure it in high school,whew a high school in brooklyn it would not have been easy,luckly i was quite "normal" in high school.
Anyway as far as dopamine goes,one thing u might want to look into is LIQUID DEPRENYL.This is a under the tongue POTENT dopamine enhancer,and is not very expensive,and can be added to most current meds,even as little as 1 droplet a day for an overall benifit with your dopamine.Do a google on it,youll find tons of information on it.Very strong affinit for dopamine.
Just for the record,as i said the way u described ur social siutation is exactly like mine,here are some meds/combos that have helped me in the past and noted to work for some...
Stimulant/klonopin combo
Stimulant/klonopin/Nurontion combo
Stimulant or (AD)/xanax combo.Maois
Nardil (strong social effects)
Parnate(more stimulant)Quick depseration over the counter tools
Kava Kava= Refer to vault of Erowird on how to use,not the bottle.There they are more in detail with the herb used for social anxiety.Kava hits 15 sites of the brain at least,most local stores have some form of it,try to get capsules/
L-THEANINE Raises blood gaba/dopamine,creates calming waves in the brain,not a bad thing to have on stand by in the closet,a pill under the tongue can help.
L Taurine- Stablizes nerves circtrutiy in the brain,surpresses EXCITATORY nueros,affects gaba and does a bit else.Again not a god send,but def a cheap otc product that is KNOWN to be useful to many.taurine and the above otc products usualy resemable a med in some way,just not as potent.I.E taurine works close to the way many of your prescribed mood stablizers do.
Anyway good look,to u,to myself,to everyone we deserve better than this,we soooo much do
