Less anxiety = more sociable ?????

Posted by Tepiaca on April 14, 2003, at 15:44:36

Im wondering about this
If your anxiety reduces that means that you are going to be more sociable, want to talk alot
is that correct?

Only if you want to be sociable. I guess if you have no interest in others then even with less anxiety you just will not bother.

I think, don't know for sure though !!

Not necessarily.
And the equation doesn't reverse either, just
because you are sociable doesn't mean you aren't anxious.
My findings, yours my differ.

Prosocial-Adderall yes, Klonopin only slightly

My experience has been that high doses of Adderall killed my social anxiety and made me pro-social and confident.
Klonopin on the other hand only diminished social anxiety. Pro-social effect is at most very very slight.

But it can be different for various people. I generally have dopamine problems (besides SAD, I have dysthymia). So my thinking is that Klonopin just masks the social anxiety problem which is the result of dopamine problem. Adderall on the other hand deals DIRECTLY with my condition.

I have a question to Nardil users for whom the medicine works - does it make you pro-social, outgoing, confident, assertive or just simply blocks social anxiety symptoms?
