Looking for someone with depression/social anxiety, social avoidance who may have happened to have been prescribed this drug - experience with it. Particularly, former MAOI user.
Long-term MAOI user, not much success with abilify, risperdal, luvox, lexapro, now being prescribed lamictal. My biggest problems are acute social anxiety and cognitive issues such as feeling disconnected from people (which I am) and lack of knowledge, shared experiences (from years
of social isolation and self-fixation). I got off MAOs for a trip to Europe, did well for awhile on nothing but have been experiencing a lot of stress and crippling depression of late. Doctor prescribed abilify because of going without sleep and some high-risk behaviors, and this did little (the behaviors went away because I was done with them). Now thinks I have unipolar/depression and this med will help. but I am concerned it won't help the social anxiety.
