Hi, never posted on one of these sites before, thought I would give it a try. Shortly into my first pregnancy with my now son I started to experience severe social anxiety (did not know what it was at the time) well now my son is now 3 1/2 and I have full blown social anxiety. Can't even leave my door step without getting nervous in front of ANYONE :( ***** so bad. Never thought there was anything like this. About a year and a half ago I went to the doctor for a suspicious mole. Of course during this whole doctors trip I was shaking sweating racing heart trembling mouth. Well doctor noticed my anxiety when taking my blood pressure and asked if I have ever tried anything for my anxiety I said no, and he recommended a anti depressant I thought no way, but was (he of course helped me taper off the anti depressant) anyways I just started crying in his office, was just so tired of suffering. and still am. he prescribed me lorazepam. started out on 0.5 mg. and quickly adjusted at 1mg. been there sense. this drug has made all of my social anxiety go away when on it. im very able to function, no side effects and I believe that is because this drug was made for someone who has severe anxiety like myself. Point of my whole story was to give you background. So have a 1 mg. 30 day supply of the lorazepam. my problem is once and a while I take 2mg. instead of the 1 mg. because well im guessing my body has gotten very used to the drug. I am afraid to tell my doctor this because the last thing I would ever want is to have my prescription taken away and go back to great suffering. I am afraid I would look like a drug abuser or something. as far as I know my doctor is aware of how bad my anxiety is, hence the prescription. I guess I am asking what I should do. keep going in this cycle of running out early and having to wait (inside my house) for 8 plus days to call my prescription in (and yes I do wait till almost the 30 days) I always fill it at day 24. nothing has ever been said to me about that. or is there another option. Thank you
