Do not smoke anything, like the other person said.
I do not have the answer since I am not a professional. This same happens to me, but not at the same level than it happens to you. I like staying home, and I'm more than happy if nobody invites me to go out...
Home sweet home....

I don't know anything about fluoxentine, but you can't be that antisocial because you socialized enough to get married. Yes, you have a problem just like me. You and I have very little need to socialize and low tolerance for social activities. No, you are not going nutz, that is just your personality. If she didn't like it she shouldn't have married you. However, you are married and need to make some compromises. I suggest that you join in some social situations to please your wife. Otherwise, she may ask for a divorce.

You need to get to counseling. Also have him check on fluvoxamine dosage you may be over medicated if you are down and non responsive all the time. Sometimes anti-social is used by others who do not realize that you are agorophobic. Agorophobic means that you are scared of social or group situations, Scared to go to store, irritated by family being around and noisy all the time etc. Counselor and medicinal check up are essential before they do drive you crazy. Community Service Boards natonwide have counseling and cost of medication based upon what you can afford. Not what you think you can afford, but what your family income says you can afford if you give up things like eating out every day. No one has a reason not to get counseling anymore. Please Go.

It sounds like depression and anxiety. Although the medication your taking should help you may need a higher dosage or to try a different medication. Talk to your doctor. Your not crazy, I have the same problem. I don't like crowds, noise irritates me, I become extremely agitated if company stays to long. It tires me out to socialize. I also take Prozac with an anti anxiety med this has helped alot. Hope this helps.

Actually the therapist is supposed to help you find these things out....yes, get them out...
I suggest:
1. Make a list of what's bugging you....who has hurt you in the past, what hurts your feelings...now write it all down.
2. Make a list of what you like, who you admire, do you like animals...what makes you happy...even if you have to remember a happier time. Where you liked to travel, and why if ...you can remember.
3. Take the list of what's bugging you to your therapist....see if that helps.
4. It's not just medication...but facing with the proper help...what's bugging you.....and if you are not getting that...fire the therapist by asking for another one.....you need one that works for you.
5. After you're done showing the "what's bugging me" list to a good therapist, tear it up. It helped you face what's keeping you from being happy. Only you can make you happy.
6. Everytime you feel "out of it", make the "what's bugging me" list again...and you know what to do with it.
7. As you accomplish things that you like, cross them off your good list.
8. Remember to smile every time you pass a mirror, yes a big smile, because you are starting to take back control of your life.
9. Perhaps you'd like a good book.
10. Perhaps you'd like to think about your spiritual development...and if you don't feel close to GOD, who moved?
11. Most of all you deserve to be in a Rocking Relationship...and your family ......from what I can tell...wants you back...wants you just to be there to love them...and you always need to feel loved too!
