Hi. I have severe Social Phobia.. I spend a ton of time reading everyone's posts.
I just wanted to say Im on Parnate 100mg/day and was on Clonazepam 4mg/day. I switched to Zanax 4mg/day along with my Parnate 100mg/day and life sucks worse then ever now. Im sooo tired. I feel like a zombie. And I know Antipsychotics can really make some people slow and mentally dull. I switched to Zanax 7 days ago. Since the Clonazepam cleared my system Im a Zombie, I'm dumb, words dont come to mind, It's not as good on my anxiety. The only thing that can awake me is alcohol. Im not an alcoholic, I love it because its the best med Ive ever found for SP (effective only when in combo with a Antidepressant. If im not on an Antidepressant , alcohol does not work). I awitched to Zanax because Clonazepam was almost working just not good enough at 4mg/day.
I GOT A JOB AGAIN so I need to be focused so Im switching back to clonazepam tonight. I just HAAAATTE the fact it will take 5-6 mg/day with 100mgParnate to work. Thats too much Clonazepam/any benzo... ANyway that was a rant.
I just want to augment my Parnate to get me out of this severe Social Phobia.
I hate high dose benzo's.
I hate that i can only see my psychiatrist every 6-8 weeks. My General doc will only augment my Parnate with Benzo's or buspirone. buspirone doesnt mix with MAOI's....... or does it. can I? should I try? alone or add it to my clonazepam which im gonna switch back to tonight to clonazepam.
I just want my Psychiatrist back so we can try to Augment my Parnate with an Antipsychotic, A month I got to wait! I think that will work , I cant take such high doses of benzos, its too scary for addiction reasons.
.... I following ALL your posts and post when I can. I even get so scared to post that I dont unless im drinking..
dammit.
just my rant.. sorta long..
