The best medications for my social anxiety have always had an affect on GABA. Currently the combination of phenelzine (75mg) and clonazepam (1mg) almost completely eliminates my symptoms. It's nice to go into a social situation and not have to wipe the sweat from my hand before shaking someone else’s. Gabapentin, as the name suggests, also influences GABA and has been a good med for my social anxiety. I'm thinking a mild stimulant, maybe modafinil, might add a little boost and counteract some of phenelzine's side effects. Has anybody tried this? My diagnosis is treatment resistant atypical depression with Social Anxiety Disorder.
