Hey, you've got to know yourself!
You've got to judge how you felt on and off antipsychotics, and how that compares to just ativan.
You've got to know how you feel about both the social phobia diagnosis and the paranoid diagosis.
The symptom of paranoia is kind of ambigious. It is just a symptom. It could be a symptom of a number of disorders.
Antipsychotics are not really intended for anxiety! If he feels you have an anxiety disorder, it may be good to try other stuff.
Benzo's are probably safer than AP's.
Anyhow, I think you've really got to think deeply into yourself and see which diagnosis makes more sence. When you determine that, don't settle for the other diagnosis.
