Hi all,
Haven't been here for awhile because I was doing good for a about two months. However, this past week has been awful for me. I'm going to school and have recently been working as a photographer for some magazines and my anxiety has skyrocketed.
I was wondering if any of you have taken benzos long term and whether they have helped. I have Social Anxiety and Paxil worked great for 3 years before it pooped out. Now, no SSRI's touch my anxiety and benzos are something I'm seriously considering. My doc is all for them long term when SSRI's fail, but I wanted to hear some stories.
I am now taking .25mg before photo shoots and I'm very much at ease, talkative, and calm. Without Xanax, my hands shake and I get extremely tense and fearful.
Need some advice guys...Im graduating in May and I'm TERRIFIED because I'll have to be meeting new people every day and I can't stand feeling so panicked and anxious. Depression doesn't hold a candle to anxiety!
