In reply to Anyone tried TEGRETOL for Social Anxiety?, posted by SPhobia on February 2, 2004, at 18:17:42
Helpful for my social anxiety. Having Social Anxiety Disorder along with Bipolar II, Tegretol has been one of the most beneficial meds. for me.
It puts a limit on the point to which my anxiety level can go (stops it from progressing to the point of panic). This, vs. benzo's which seem better for anticipatory anxiety.
If I take "normal" doses though, it has a depressing effect. So I take anywhere from 200-400mgs./day.
Just my own experience.
