Hello, in case you haven't seen my other posts, I went off SSRI's cold turkey a couple weeks ago. I had some bad nausea and dizziness and brain zaps (finally figured out what they were!) but I feel good now. I want to manage my anxiety on my own. My issue is social anxiety specifically. Has anyone done behavior modification therapy? It sounds interesting, but I don't know much about it. Any input would be appreciated, especially if you deal with social anxiety too.

Well I finally got through the withdrawals of stopping cymbalta and feel much better... I still haven't told my dr. I stopped it though. I'm thinking of switching dr's just so I don't have to face her. I kind of feel like I failed what I was supposed to do and I don't want her to put me on another medication until I'm ready to try again, and I don't know that I will try another one. I had to conduct orientation at work yesterday, which is always a huge source of stress for me, but I did fine. I just thought of my fiance when I got nervous.

oh yea, also, I had met a girl online and we hung out a couple weeks ago. I thought I acted weird and she hated me, but she wants to get together again so I guess I'm not as bad as I thought. :)
