Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to the gp to see where to go from here. It is a week since stopping the 2.5 mg Lexapro but I still feel cranky and agitated...loonier than ever.
It makes me feel sad to hear about so many people struggling to find an answer to social anxiety. Zero, I admire your courage fronting up to CBT. The gp has suggested this but to me even the thought of this is terrifying. My verson of
hell on earth would be to sit in a circle and to have to talk about your crazed thinking etc.
I have plenty of books on social anxiety etc but sometimes I feel like it isn't self esteem or thinking pathetic thoughts that are the major problems but rather something really primitive and chemical setting the psychological tone.I hope you can all find the answer.
