Re: Social anxiety relapse brought on by stroke!

I would just say that the stroke by itself is an indication that other lifestyle changes are in order. Beyond meds. Beyond treatment. Specific diet changes can prevent strokes and improve the course post-stroke.

'Managing disease' is not the same thing as 'restoring wellness'.

I have no idea of your lifestyle. But it may be worth considering getting back to basics, if not already there, and doing everything possible to restore the fullest health potential you possibly can. Meds alone cannot do that.

By basics I am referring to a wide spectrum of lifestyle tactics that includes gluten-free, non-genetically-modified, low sugar, low carbs, high protein, high fats, colorful meals, fish oil, professional multivitamin with words in it like 'methyl' and 'picolinate' and 'p5p', walking or exercise. Etc. etc.

For managing the social anxiety I think maybe it makes sense to go straight toward things that calm the nervous system directly - such as the benzodiazepines. I realize it is maybe not politically correct to be taking stimulants and benzos at the same time. Nobody ever got better being politically correct.

I would also suggest taking a look at Zyprexa since it has such a wonderful synergy with Prozac. I'm not a fan of lamictal. Amisulpride at 25mg might be better for you than 50mg. If not, then maybe go the other direction to 100mg.

The stroke changed the game. It is not the same game-board as pre-stroke. Things changed. Things got damaged. It's a different game now. I don't think it is realistic to expect the same meds from the old game to work in the new game.

It's tough. I hope you get some relief!
