Fear and Loathing in my psych's office

[Introvertedangstkid]

I've been diagnosed for ADD and social anxiety and am currently on medication. However, it isn't working at all. I'm in no way focused on my work and can barely speak a word let alone a complete sentence to a stranger or someone I find intimidating (i.e. the extroverted type who love to start up conversations with their zealous energy ). I want to consult my psychiatrist about this but fear how she will take me lying to her about the medication being an effective solution.

Hi! I really think you should tell your psychiatrist that the medication isn't working for you. I was in a similar situation where although I was being medicated, my depression symptoms made it impossible for me to focus on or do anything. I was scared to tell my psychiatrist that what she put me on wasn't working but I eventually did, switched medications and ended up doing that two more times and now, the combination of medication I'm on is really helping me live a better life (with therapy as an additional treatment). I hope this comment is helpful in some way and I really hope you can find the right combination of treatment that will really help you!
