> Great post,social anxiety is as u stated horrid,its like watchig the big game on the side line.Being jailed in your own home.
yep

> 1.Im not being partial both the maois nardil and parnate have shown superior in this area.I can attest to parnate.Nardil with its gaba might be better.

yes out of all the ADs only Nardil seema to have a good track record of treating SP> 2.Benzos,i did a long search,and no deaths are related to benzos on their own.Its always when acholol or other drugs are mixed is when benzos cause death rates.Its also noted benzo patients unlike benzo abusers are so scared they are known to be very careful and safe with their benzo use.And lets face it,they work,from ativan,to klonopin they offer a major plus in a medication combo,or as i call it arsenal.

yes long ago I read an article which basically said that if you had SP then you HAD to be on benzos at least-short term. Tolerance is different from addiction or emotional dependency. I wish more doctors would understand this.>
> I will say anxiety meds dont seem to help,cause tolerance,UNLESS they are not used monothrapy but instead as part of a combo,and again i keep finding one either of the maios is the med of choice for this.

yes> My final thought is,and i could be wrong,but all these disorders,especialy social anxiety are monsters,and i have seen anyone with continued success use a single med.Polyphamrmacy,the use of combos,seems to be best,its also fun to learn the different meds,and to have options when meds arent working to take a additonal med you have in your aresnal.Every med ihave,i found as aso
yep I agree. SP almost always requires multiple meds or at the least a med like Nardil that has a wide spectrum of action.> Current aresnam

Wow, that's quite and arsenal you've got there :) But if it's helping you manage everyday life without health-effects then cool. I'd take all these neds and more everyday if it meant I could get my life back.
> I am currently looking for an additonal mood elvator i can use please feel free to mention.
Only mood elevator I have experience with is tianeptine - 37.5mg of tianeptine lifts my mood a lot for about 30mins. Tianeptine 3 x 12.5mg reduces depression and anxiety but it wasn't enough in monotherapy for me.
