Does anyone have it? I think I do. I just seen a commercial for Zoloft and it grabbed my attention cause all of the symptoms I have, maybe I should make an appt w/teh Dr.

If it can improve my quality of life, im all for it.

 

Not me? :dunno: But good luck to you.

 

Yes, talk to your doctor if you think you need to. But remember the purpose of a commercial is to sell you on a product.

I'll PM you about it later tonight or sometime tomorrow, I don't feel like divulging my life story on the board.

 

sounds good.

Anyone else have/or think they have social anxiety? How do/did you deal with it?

 

Zoloft is more of an antidepressant although it is sometimes used for social anxiety disorder. Can't really say which drug would be right for you since obviously none of us is qualified.

If you think it's really an issue then you should go to a shrink and don't start taking anything until you've had more than a few sessions so they can really get a sense of what's up. Also keep in mind that any sort of skew or spin you put on what you tell the shrink will affect their reccomendation of treatment so try to be as impartial as possible. You'll get better results.

 

im goin to the doc next week yo..

 

i honestly think i have an imbalance that goes the other way and makes too many connections (according to info on the commercial) cuz im extremely social and i cant usually control myself (usually a bad thing) h:

 

what exactly is social anxiety disorder?

 

cant u just get drunk before you go out :chuckles:

 

Psychiatric drugs can be a major PITA (with the side effects, remembering to take them, remembering to refill them, etc.). Definitely see the doctor, but make sure that you really need them before you take them (maybe there are alternative treatments or something?). Good luck.
