Different ways to cope with anxiety

[thewayjoshis]

I have a lot of anxiety, mostly socially. I was just prescribed lorazepam 0.5mg 2 days ago to help me sleep and my doctor said we will discuss the anxiety next visit. I got curious though and took one right after i got home to see how it helps with anxiety, which it really mostly did. My anxiety causes me to be socially awkward a lot of times, especially around girls, but I've learned to overcome it somewhere over the years. I still cant grow the balls to go up to a girl and flirt with and get her number though. I know a lot of girls like me, but im only confident enough to talk to them if they come to me first, so I just let it happen i guess. But basically, once the pill kicked in, I started texting this girl (with pussy as the ultimate goal like always) but this time, I was doing great and she responded good asf to it too and now im coming over to her house tomorrow cuz she wanna "chill". But after that pill wore off, I took another one because I liked not being socially awkward/anxious and I liked what I just accomplished. That was only 2 days ago, but ever since then, Ive been taking 2-3 a day even after trying to stop myself several times and i can totally see this turning into an addiction. Today, I took some adderall, and later another lorazepam to help with the comedown and I just took one more because I can feel a bit of anxiety. The reason I wrote this is because I tried really hard to stop myself from taking that second pill just now, and just deal with the anxiety like I always have, but I couldnt control... And its only been two days!! I already know that theres no way im going to be able to stop myself tomorrow when I go to her house, and then I'll probably just do it the next day too. I really just need some help and advice, please...

I can relate to your anxiety i was like that 20 yrs ago an unfortunately im still the fuckin same even if i take 20mg valium i must be a social mis fit but i can now live my life alone without people

Well as a medical professional I understand your anxiety..I see it all the time I however am a bit surprised the adderall you take doesn't take care of that. First thing I would ask you doctor is if the dosage is right on that for you. Ideally a perfect or just right dose of adderall should give you energy, make you talkative, and boost your self worth....it's kinda a miracle drug in a way by how it makes your brain work. But if you really must have an anxiety medication ask your doctor what he thinks of a low dose .25 of xanax it's the safest benzo out there...low dependency rate, cheap, extremely low affinity to seziures.... but before I get yelled at, yes you can potentially get hooked....In my honest opinion get the addrall adjusted and you will have all the confidence in the world...don't abuse it tho

Femaletrouble ... Im sorry to hear that, after 5 years a new anxiety plan should have been re-thought.... New research has found that a low grade stimulant is 1000% times more effective than depreassants. Next time you see your doctor say hey I've been anxious for 20 years these downers aren't working ask about a low dose or ritalin or adderall .. they make very low doses 5mg or even 2.5....I bet even though it would be a diffrent day for you and a new mindset you would feel better and talk to everybody you see.. think about this ok....your 2nd grader is awkward..acts out and doesn't do his work. What do they do? Put his ass on adderall and it's like a new kid...they don't say Oh ok here jimmy take this valium lol. Just something to ponder..

Im not prescribed adderall, i do it recreationally on occaision. I know what you mean tho, i get really social with adderall but the thing is, I get talkative to the point where im just really annoying and I also get really emotional and sensitive for the rest of the day. The thing that works best for me with social anxiety is hydrocodone but I cant just keep doing that and i dont have unlimited access to it either.

No you can't do that. Im telling you go see a doctor explain everything get a script for adderall xr should last 24 hours with no emotion crash. Doctors and trust me on this love handing that shit out....u say hey look i know it wrong but I've had short term addreall from someone in a few times and it made me focus I lost my anxiety and I was very sociable and had a better quality of life. Trust me you'll leave with an adderall script. But don't abuse it.

I don't know what it's called in the UK. .. here it's either adderall or ritalin. It's an upper don't worry though it's like 1/100000 of meth..lol.. they have formulations that last all day to keep you steady energy...and I won't lie your gonna be way more talkative and way more energetic it's actually amazing...this is what I would do and im a doctor in the states. But you make an appointment u sit down and say ok look I've been anxious..depressed off and on and to be honest I don't think 20 years of downers (Valium)is right ..I wanna try uppers.adderall xr or Ritalin low dose at first but just say after you did some research you just wanna give it a go..you wanna be chatty and you want go out and you want have 100s of ideas and not just be shut up in your house.....you'll get it. Worst case scenario you don't like them toss em go back to valium. .

Are you really a doctor? But anyway, what you're saying will not work on the G.P's here in the UK. They most certainly do not love throwing out adderall to all and sundry. It's not easy to get hold of.
