Adder/Dexedrine are good - and bad - for SP

Posted by Michael Bell on October 31, 2010, at 20:40:58

I don't know if this has been anyone else's experience with adderall and dexedrine for social phobia, but here is what I have found in the past (haven't used either for some time).

They are good for social phobia because they make you not care about being social. You no longer have anxiety about social situations because, quite frankly, you no longer care about being social period. For me these two meds always take away the anxiety, but they turn me into a braniac and a workaholic. All I want to do is work, perfect whatever I am working on, go over the most minor details, etc. I would much rather spend time doing work than socializing with other people. On a saturday night, I would probably be thrilled at the prospect of going to Barnes and Nobles and just sitting in the cafe reading a book, rather than going to a social spot.

So they are good in the sense that you don't obsess about being more social... but I guess, not so good in that they exacerbate the issue of not having social connections.

Anybody else experience this?
