It's crucial, since we humans are a social species, to have person to person interaction, if only to be reminded that we are part of a bigger world outside our own day to day existence.

It all boils down to how important and seriously each one of us is to ourselves,

First of all , 12.5 is a small dose & it's possible that it didn't work because you didn't take appropriate dose .
Secondly any psychiatric medicine takes 4-6 weeks to start showing full effects and in your case you stopped after 8 weeks .
You can take depsonil however you need to work on your anxiety because that's the root cause of this.
Restart medicine & also consider cbt sessions which will help you coping with negative thoughts
