I have been on/off Lexapro for about 2 years. It mostly works for social anxiety, but caused 15 pounds of weight gain and decrease in libido. My doctor added Wellbutrin to Lexapro to counteract those effects, but it hasn’t done much (plus, it’s technically not approved for social anxiety). I currently take 150mgs of Well. XL and 10mgs Lex. daily. I am 5′3′, 140 pounds, athletic build, but am normally 125 pounds. I regularly do yoga and lots of walking, plus I eat relatively healthy and organic, but I have always had an emormous appetite (even before meds). Suggestions?

Drugs work differently on all people. Some people may not experience weight gain while taking Lexapro. Ask your doctor to switch you to anotehr SSRI, like Prozac or Zoloft. One of those may work just as well as Lexapro but without some of the side effects.

Where do you go to get help for social anxiety disorder? Do you go to the doctor or go to a psychologist or something like that?

How much does it cost or is it covered by insurance ( the visit + medication) I’m 17 and i doubt my mom would want to pay for it.

I’ve displayed several symptoms of social anxiety/phobia, but I don’t have any health insurance so I can’t seek professional help. I live in California - is there a program of some sort that can help me with this, that doesn’t require insurance?

Chassie asked:

I’m six months pregnant right now so perscriptions are out of the question. My midwife says I shouldn’t be taking any anti-depressants or anything like that. But my boss put me on the cash register full time. It’s really hard for me to look people in the eyes, talk to them, and even associate with them. I feel as though they’re trying to pick out my flaws or something. A lot of them get really impatient with me. When these things happen, I start to get nauseated to the point where I have to run to the bathroom. My social anxiety is really getting to me. I’ve never been a people person, but I’m determined to keep this job because I want financial income for this baby. Does anyone know how to cope with social anxiety at work without taking perscrips?
