  1. I know that the SSRI's don't work for everyone and I'm not trying to tout them as the answer. I've tried various ones in the past. I'll see how I feel in a few months, I exercise and do CBT but I've always struggled with extreme socIal anxiety. But I do get what your saying but a lot of people benefit from them. I'll have to weigh my options and see where I stand.
  2. I have researched a lot about the various types of medications available, CBT, meditation, etc.., I wouldn't just blindly try something the doctor prescribes. The problem with the medications, as I've tried a few, weight gain, no energy and just blank feeling. Even though the anxiety is hard to deal with, specifically social anxiety, the anxiety is an energy source for me, motivates me to hit the gym, hike, etc.. so it's a love hate relationship for me. I've always had this issue w anxiety so I do believe it's a chemical imbalance, so I'm not totally against medication
  3. Thanks quit-once & Renascido Considering im on day 18 I have a ways to go. I did make an appt w a doctor but it's not until December; if I can make it to then without thinking I need an ssri to help w depression/anxiety then that's good I can usually deal w the depression aspect fairly well, I exercise a lot which helps. But I know my personality and I have always had issues with social anxiety, and have been self medicating for a while. But this site helps for motivation and resources. I have to get to a base level to see where I'm at without any medication and go from there. Thanks for the Reponses
  4. Hello. I'm new to this site. I have read a lot on here but have never contributed. I have been on adderall for around 5 years. I recently had a bday and decided to stop taking it. It's been around 2 weeks, which I know isn't long. My question is I've been fairly depressed/anxious feeling since stopping. At what point would one not attribute this to the adderall withdrawl and have to come to terms that this is how they are? I know I need to give it more time and I know adderall is not an anti depressant but it definitely helped me with social anxiety. At what point would I say ok I need an anti anxiety medication, i.e.: an ssri and this is not related to quitting adderall? Thanks
