Hey guys I'm new here.
im 26 years old and have been clean off of opiates for 10 months tomorrow.

I have very bad social anxiety to the point where I don't want to leave the house or speak to anyone but I was put on gabapentin to help with it and also for pain from neck surgery. it worked wonders for me and gave me my confidence back and allowed me to live my life normally.
The past few weeks I feel as if the medication is not working and I'm back to where I started--- not wanting to go out, always on edge, cannot even crack a smile and it is ruining my life again..

I did some reading about lyrica and people suggest switching over to that but I just wanted some input if anyone has gone through this and what I can do as far as non-narcotic that can help me with this anxiety and boost my confidence back up. if I don't get help I feel as if I will ruin everything with family and my girlfriend. I just want to be confident and be able to walk around with a smile on my face. I know medication isn't always the answer but I was on heavy opiates for a while .

thanks in advance.
