Geodon has helped a number of people, but they need to monitor their EKGs occasinally. Yes, it has adverse risks above the 0.1% that Seroquel may have -- but these are still unknown. Tardive conditions are accepted today and are still only about 5% per year to an unknown amount for atypical antipsychotics.
However, we don't even know what the diagnosis for someone would be. That's for a trained professional.
As for the statement:"Does any medication help with the warped thought process part of social phobia? You know, the "they are looking at me, they are judging me, they are negatively evaluating me" part of social phobia? Not the physiological anxiety, but the thought process. Does Nardil help with this? I cannot remember from my own experience. Does any med help with this?"
I believe that, and you can correct me, but you're being hard on yourself. Describing your thought processes as "warped" for social phobia just gives yourself your own stigma.
Thought processes such as these are better helped by psychodynamic analysis or CBT in my opinion. Not everything takes a pill, especially in that situation.
Yes, Klonopin takes the edge off of social phobia, but its not just downing a pill, its going out of the house and meeting people despite one's self-worth.
Sure, maybe I'm reading my own need for socialization into this, but I think a lot of mental illness needs socialization to remove the inside and outside perception and stigma of the condition.-- just some thoughts
