Yeah, I would encourage you to stay on your combo for a while to see if it works. I understand your feelings about not liking life and not feeling it is worth anything...I think most people writing here can understand. I hope you start feeling better soon. Like you said, there are still a lot of meds out there for you to try so the statistics are in your favor. Paxil (paroxetine) is another SSRI used for social phobias and depression...have you tried it before? How does your social phobia manifest itself, e.g, do you feel anxious in public? do you get panic attacks? Can you leave the house and drive a car? Do you function normally (other people can't see a different) but with a lot of duress/pain and anxiety? What kinds of psychotic experiences did you have?
Yes, Nardil may be worth a try and I hear Parnate (MAOI) is very helpful too. Hopefully your current combo will work! Have you tried Welbutrin or Buspar? By the way, what is Shintroid?
Good luck and hang in there!
