> I have rather long history of p meds. I started a new school about one and a half year ago, in a new location and new country. The problem is that I canīt get myself to do any homework, I donīt go to school because I donīt want to. Iīm very interrested in what iīm studying but I have no energy to do that. The reason I donīt go to school is social phobia so I canīt get any new friends. I first started my university studies back at home and there I achieved very high results and was always(well, almost..) attending at school, I had friends back there, old friends, so itīs was fun to go to school. I switched university because it has more to offer particulary in electrical engineering, which is what I read. Now Iīm desperately seeking advices from doctors and now from you, what shall I do?

Tensor,I found that Remeron seems to eliminate *panic* feelings associated with social situations, but I felt *more* nervous in a different sort of way while I was taking it (avoidance still there-but no "catastrophic" experiences of panic). It also zombified my head and made me a total couch potato. I would consider a switch from Rem+Klon to an SSRI+Klon, or an MAOI+Klon, or Neurontin+Klon, instead.
