Common Questions and Answers about Percocet for social anxiety

percocet

Avatar m tn Hello all. I have been taking percocet once a day for 4 1/2 years on and off (mostly on). It has dramatically helped in times of severe depression, and has been the only drug/medication that has come close to helping with my depression and anxiety. For those years the most I would take was up to 15mg a day. For the past 3 months I have taken around 30 mg a day (3 months ago I had a very physically painful life event and needed more percocet to cover the pain).
Avatar f tn So I've just recently become open with my social anxiety. I remember being in middle school and thinking that something was horribly wrong with me. I would get so nervouse around people. My body would tremble, my voice would shake and I couldn't think clearly. I've become more comfortable with being uncomfortable, and yes I do notice that there are plenty of people that are shy, but I really hate the fact that my real personality can't show when I'm around people.
Avatar n tn I believe I have social anxiety and am currently seeing a therapist. However, managing my symptoms has become a daily challenge. How do I prevent panic attacks when I'm around others? I still get really anxious around strangers which prevents me from making genuine relationships?
Avatar f tn I have a presentation coming up next week, so I decided to go and seek medical help today. I went to my doctor and he diagnosed me with social anxiety. He said that the best treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy, but he prescribed me some medication to get me through this semester. He prescribed 10 mg propranolol (inderal) 3 times a day and an extra 10 mg inderal 1 hour before the presentation + 0.25 mg Xanax 1 hour before the presentation.
Avatar m tn In fact, I find that most times I have to attend any social function, I count the minutes until I can leave the party. I can usually fake it for about 2 hours. But then, it's like I hit a wall and the desire and need to leave increase greatly with each minute. In fact, the minutes start to feel like hours. Inside I feel myself getting angry, edgy, and moody. At the same time, my wife has usually had a couple of drinks by then and is wound up and having a good time.
494087 tn?1257793207 I was diagnosed with social anxiety and panic disorder a year ago. I take remeron and klonopin but the doctor says only to take them at night. I think I need some medication to get through the day but I am afraid to tell him I am having trouble getting through the day. I always have a butterfly feeling in my stomach and when I have to go in public I get very nervous and feel like everyone is looking at me. I guess my question is does anyone else feel this way and what should I do?
Avatar m tn Hi, I suffer from severe social anxiety and public speaking, my doctor in Manila prescribed me Abilify and Sertraline. Did anyone use these medicine for social/public anxiety and does it help?
Avatar m tn I know, when you feel the anxiety, it leads to more anxiety because you are anxious they will notice your anxiety... Higher heart rate, blood pressure, chest pains, wish to immediately leave the place... And to me, it seems better to leave home at night or when it is colder or rainy, because there are less people out there, on the street... You are not alone!
Avatar f tn Anyone else get social anxiety in big groups? I have always been an anxious person in general but i have always Been able to manage it and show up to group events. I have noticed now though the farther along i get the more anxious i get and the more i get the overwhelming urge to bolt from events. Its getting bad too. Any one else or any ideas?
722310 tn?1234762137 He has been struggling with MAJOR social anxiety for about 6 years. I figured he would eventually out grow it, but it has only gotten worse over the years. He has a very hard time walking into a room with other people, besides his family. He looks down, he doesn't have eye contact with others. He almost seems like he is shamed of who he is. He is a kind, gentle and thoughtful young man. He is also extremely bright. He is off the charts on all IQ tests.
Avatar f tn Yes you do have social anxiety. I have had it for years and now it has turned into agoraphobia. I also have panic attacks. I am not saying all this could happen to you but just be aware of these things. Have you seen a therapist? I stay secluded to my home but my therapist is trying to help me with these issues. I take xanax for the panic attacks and anxiety. But they do have different meds. I suggest you go to a mental health facility in your area. They can be quite helpful.
Avatar f tn I appreciate all you have said. Believe me I have tried to put myself "out there". I tried going back to school several years ago to live my dream of being a Make-up Artist. The first thing my doctor said to me was "Wow, that's not exactly a career for someone with Social Anxiety". That has been stuck in my head to this day. Especially comming from the one person I was hoping would help me out, made me feel like there was no hope.
Avatar f tn I would also have to agree that counseling can really help with social anxiety. First of all, don't feel ashamed or embarrased about it because many people suffer from this in my opinion. In my experience, counseling can she some light on why you are feeling anxious, make it less confusing, and gvie you as step by step approach to confront it.
899491 tn?1243773627 Is it possible to have social anxiety with bp? I don't do the spending sprees or have extramartial affairs but I certainly feel paranoia. I start withdrawing after my manic episode. It all starts with not feeling comfortable around people and I feel highly irritable....it feels like I want to jump out of my skin. I have trouble speaking too. I would get sentences all mixed up or start stammering away when I have to talk to someone. I start to withdraw into my little world.
Avatar f tn Yes, it does sound like social anxiety. Have you thought about getting in to counseling to help with this?
Avatar f tn If you find the answer to this question, let me know. Iam the exact same way. People seem to think i am stuck-up, or a b tch. My husband is the only one that gets me. One thing I have learned, when i do talk to people, i try to talk enough to bring up my shyness and it seems after that they know im not stuck-up and they reach out more. I dont take it anymore but when i was on lexapro, i was more confident with who i was and was able to talk more to people.
Avatar n tn I beleive my 6 year old son has social anxiety and selective mutism in certain situations. He is overall doing fine but it seems to be affecting him at school and I'm concerned about the uncoming school year. I'm waiting for an appointment for him with a professional but wanted to know your opinion about the use of Prozac for this problem.
18251556 tn?1463792320 Good day, every one. For quite a while now, I have had bad social anxiety--but for no reason whatsoever! It could just be an excess amount of a certain type of hormones/chemicals being produced in my brain, but the queer part of this anxiety is that I have no regard for social norms or approval of others whatsoever. In fact, I could care less about being embarrassed or people thinking poorly of me. Yet, I still get social anxiety when facing social situations.
Avatar n tn Alternatively, if you find that alcohol relieves your social anxiety, then my suggestion to you would be to forget about benzos and go straight to CBT. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is very effective for those whose anxiety is social and often they don't even need medication once they learn techniques to counteract the anxiety.
492527 tn?1212175672 What would be the better medication for depression, anxiety, and social anxiety. Effexor xr or Zoloft.
Avatar f tn did you try other meds for anxiety? before the subs?
Avatar f tn How long does it take the brain to recover from percocet, after being on percocet for 3 years 10mg a day? Is it normal to still have anxiety after 5 months? My doctor says it is normal, but just want a second opinion.
1322152 tn?1282507546 Hey, well it sounds very much like you have severe anxiety disorders which are treatable, so thats the good news. There are a few avenues you can take to ease this, the first is getting yourself into therapy, maybe something called CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) would be the best kind for you.... google and both you n your mum should have a read. Plus i would recommend going to your doc asap and letting him/her know how much your suffering, they may try you on a SSRI anti-depressant.
