Social Anxiety/Depression/Insomnia.. I’m on novo-trazadone but i was wondering…?
Insomnia i’m facing:
If i’d benefit more from something like Xanax.
i don’t feel that novo-trazadone is helping my anxiety at all, and it’s rarely helping the depressing and insomnia.
I’m only 15, so if you could reccomend something that might help, please do.

Stay away from Xanax its very addictive.
Medication by itself won’t fix your anxiety.
You need some psychological treatment like CBT. There is excellent evidence that this helps

you should discuss this with which ever doctor writes your prescriptions鈾?

First of all, who put you on it and why are they not following up with you.
You should do the following.
See a counselor first
Get a referral to a psych doctor
Make sure you have communication with the doctor
If the medication does not suit you ask it to be changed.
I do not recommend xanax, but you can ask your doctor (psych)
Trazadone is more for sleeping than an anti depressant, although it is under the classification as an anti depressant medication, kind of an older type, so you may want to be on an anti depressant like Lexapro (anti depressant) and Klonopin(anti anxiety) or Lexapro and Ambien or Lunesta for sleep as the last two are for sleep.
This is a doctor patient issue. I can not, nor can anyone diagnose this on this site. Many vets coming back from war use trazodone to sleep at night for night terrors and stuff.
Get the help you need, do not be ashamed to ask, look at webmd and you will learn about what you are taking. Make sure you take exactly what the doctor told you until you talk to the doc again. Xanax is too addictive so that is why I said there is a better way.
Good Luck,
I remain,
