I think you should try going back on the antidepressants. I don't find them to be all that effective for me personally, but everyone reacts differently to medication.
Someone mentioned a while back that antidepressants are more or less just a false perception and I have to agree. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist next week and I'm going to try to score some Xanax. I think it will help with the anxiety/social phobia EC inevitably causes.
I notice when I drink a lot of alcohol I forget all about my lips and just enjoy life, but obviously I can't recommend doing that since it's dangerous and we all have responsibilities as adults.
