> Hi everyone.
> Hurray for this site!
> I have sad and depression as a result.I have tried several treatments and CBT.I tolerate the SSRIs, neurontin, amisulpride (50mg)and reboxetine but have noticed some improvement with Prozac and Zoloft only. I can't tolerate nortimil, aurorix and effexor. What I am asking is suggestions for my case.I am a shy girl and my sad manifests itself not only when I'm with people.I always have had feelings of inferiority,lack of self esteem,insecurity,fear of judgement and criticism. At the moment I avoid being with people when I can.
> I'm taking Zoloft(200mg),Neurontin(1200mg)and Klonopin/Rivotril 0,5mg 3 times per day for 17 days. Can someone please suggest something that will make me more talkative and serene?By the way would Adrafinil or Piracetam be worthwhile trying?
> I hope I haven't bored anyone with all these details.
> Thanks for reading. Ciao. Jolie.Jolie
MAOIs have a reputation for being very good for social phobia, I think especially more Nardil than Parnate. It might be worth trying one of these. I notice you have already tried moclobemide, but sometimes the irreversible MAOIs can be more effective.
I also have many of the problems you mention myself - low self-esteem, some social phobia, convinced other people won't like me... it is hard to deal with feeling like this, isn't it?
