> >> Thanks Rick and Cindy. I wish you both the best also. Do you have any suggestions regarding dosage or regarding supplemental medications to help with the social anxiety? I am currently taking 40 mg Paxil.
Bill,
I have found that ativan 0.5mg does alot of good for my anxiety...I suppose that any benzo would help with that. I like ativan at that dosage, because many times, it is all I need to just "take the edge" off the crappy feelings...muscles burning...dizziness, etc. But the more intense my anxiety, the more ativan I can take since it is such a low dosage.
The thing to remember is that ( I think ) all benzo's can be habit-forming, at least I know ativan and klonopin are. I think valium is a benzo too. So, it's best to use them as needed, as opposed to taking on a regular schedule. Hope this helps a little. Best to talk to your doctor in any case.
