This is a wonderful program. I've tried Lexapro, but my sexual libido suffered as I took it. Also, I felt so numb as I took it. My doctored prescribed me Xanax (alprazolam). I found it really helpful. I would take 2 tablets of 0.5mg. My doctor has sinced stopped prescribing this to me because of its addicting components. Now he only prescribes a small amount if I have to take plane rides maybe twice a year. Xanax has been the best medication for me.

During my isolation in my room ever since little ive always liked video games. Now mind you im not the smartest kid in school i consider myself to be a 60%-65% student in high school and i have never won awards, i hate school presentations but yet do it to get the mark for the sake of my parents. i hate public events like a bbq or sumthing.i can handle it if i just go to remote locations like a empty school field with say 2 or 3 of my closest frens but i dunt like to go out with alot of people.

for example when my dad tells me to do a simple request such as asking the waiter lady how much londer will the food take to come i can't do it, i dont know why it may have been the fact there were many people in that resteraunt that day or i dnno. And yet after we've recieved our food my dad is left cheesed at me. When being forced to do sumthing mygut like tighten's up mega fast and like i think twice perhaps even 3 times if i can really do this and come to the conclusion that i cant' (4)

My parents usually give me a hard time after they ask me to come out and i deny, but like i don't know what to do, i don't want to tell them that i might have a disorder. And even if i do tell them chances are they'll probably just label it extreme shyness. I dont have any bad habits i dont smoke, nor drink i usually perfer to be left alone in my roombut at the same time i dont want the people close to me cheesed off. Like that one other previous user i too hate being forced to do sumthing.(3)

and i really can't help it. My parents often get upset at me because i dont come out with them, they think im just too embarresed to come out with them and when they say this it kinda makes me feel like a jerkbut i can't help it like i just dont want to confront the public i dont know why. (2)

Hi , guys. wow im still trying to cope with the fact that i seriously might have this disorder. Ever since i was young i felt that i was different from my peers, i didn't know what it was but i just had a feeling. I am 17 year old male, ri and im not sure if i just have extreme shyness or SAD. From reading some of the other users comments, i too feel more secure in the comfort of my room/house. Whenever asked to come outside to play, shop, eat i have a gut feeling that just takes over me (1)

Wow, this doctor is an expert at this. He is a great example of what a "psychiatrist" really is!! Most doctors would just throw medicine at you without talking about the issues. This guy is gifted and has the desire to help people.

a wize person once told me this.it is not what you dont have, or what has been taken from you,it is what you do with what you have right now that matters.

hey buddy, my experience of suffering from this problem is either to keep using mediaction forever and tolerate the side effects or finish it all now. Because if you can't control it, it keeps you behind in your life and brings severe depression in the near future which is even worse.and that's what happened to me.
