well i think i have social anxiety symptoms are:
i feel like everybody i know judges me..
when i go grocery shopping i feel like the check out person is judging me...almost the same with everybody..
plus i dont go out anymore.. i have one friend but even when i goto his house i dont know what to say...
i just sit there silent and he points it out...
i also have OCD
which is bad cause when i think somebody is judging me i obsess about it and think about it for most of the day..
well anyway to my question..
i only have one kidney do any of the meds for social anxiety cause kidney failure?
because i'd rather be alone and afraid of everybody then on a dialysis machine for the rest of my life...

well to me it sounds like you may have phobia's and with OCD well that can take a lot out of you. As for meds, depending on the person any med can cause damage to any part of your body or inner organs, so why not go and talk with your doctor, and get the answer from him, that way he can keep an eye on you too and watch for warning signs.

You need to talk to your doctor who will then assess your over all health and decide on an appropriate treatment. If you are not comfortable with taking medication, you should try something like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which in some cases of depression and anxiety have the same success rate as SSRI medication. Obviously, you'll need to talk with your doctor or therapist to decide what is best for your particular case.

I have read some litterature about panic attacks. But they allways seem to have a more scientific approach and that is nothing I need in my struggle to survive those horrible panic attacks. This is a "hand on" and very practical book. I felt it was written to me. I am sure that you are going to feel the same.
Joe Barry writes exactly how I think. The examples are perfectly described. And the method is genius. I recommend this book and thanks Joe Barry for writing it. It changes your life

I feel you!! I go through the same things. It really sucks!
My doctor put me on Zoloft. It really helps. You could research this med online and find the statistics on it.
Hope this helps! Good luck to you!!! : )
