If you have a good mental health team, they won't give up on you. Anxiety is complicated, and so are medications that treat them. What works for one doesn't for another. Social phobia can be hard. I've lived in the house I'm in with two friends for fifteen years and seen their kids and friends come and go. If there is anyone but my two friends down there, I won't go out of my room. Sometimes days go by when I don't leave the house.

Have you spoken to your team about the lack of improvement you have had with your current medication? I wouldn't worry about them giving up on you. Im sure they h ave had difficult cases before. Most people in that field are compassionate and want you to feel better. Be honest with them and let them know how you are really doing.

just a note, watch the extra doses on your anti-anxiety medications. Many of those can cause a tolerance problem. If you take more than you are supposed to, the next time, your body thinks it should be getting the higher dose. There are many medications for that these days, and if the one you are on isn't working, its time to try another.
