    Hi,

    I feel your pain as I am exactly the same and like to stay in the house as much as possible.

    When I go out I get sweaty palms because of the anxiety and the only thing that's helped me is sertaline.

    Dont know if this helps....

      yep, get that way too.

      Do you suffer with this all the time? Do you try anything to beat it or take any other AD meds?
