Re: MOST EFFECTIVE MED FOR SOCIAL PHOBIA!

In reply to MOST EFFECTIVE MED FOR SOCIAL PHOBIA!, posted by z on June 4, 2000, at 12:46:20

First of all, please see my 6-8 post entitled "Social Phobia Cocktail -- WOW!!!"

On average, Nardil is probably more effective than Paxil, but for most people (including me) its side-effects are even worse than Paxil's. Proving again that YMMV, Nardil worked wonderfully for me for all of two weeks, followed by complete poop- out. I didn't like the food restrictions anyways, even though they do tend to be overstated.

In various combinations, I've tried Celexa, Neurontin, Xanax, Tranxene, beta blockers, Wellbutrin (an odd choice, but my pdoc wanted me to try it to counter Celexa fogginess), Selegiline, and BuSpar.

But none of those worked nearly as well, consistently, and side-effect-free as daily Klonopin of 2 mg or less (taking too much can LESSEN its SP benefits).

But as you'll see in my above-referenced post, adding Serzone and Provigil to the Klonopin has produced far and away the best Social Phobia relief for me, with NO lasting side effects to-date.

Incidentally, Provigil (modafinil) is kin to the adrafinil mentioned in another response. Both have been available in France for awhile, but Provigil was introduced in the U.S. a little over a year ago. Unlike adrafinil, Provigil does not require quarterly liver-function checkups.
