Deeply sorry about your frustration...
I wonder if you have tried every MAOI: Phenelzine, Tranylcypromine, Moclobemide, and Selegiline.
Thinking of you,

Hey Geno,
See KregPark's web site "www.socialfear.com". An excellent source of about sp. Also look up past posts by KregPark and Rick. They had a great discussion about social phobia regarding medications and some of the neurotransmitter involved about 6 weeks ago.

>I think nardil or parnate would be a bad idea in someone that still uses an illegal & strong depressant like GHB. If Nardil & Parnate greatly magnify the effects of alcohol, either of those MAOIs in the hands of someone who uses GHB could very likely result in an accidental/overdose death.

I was wondering if gabatril is effective for social phobia. What dose are you on, & what are the side effects?

I have found GHB to be very effective, too...however, the effects are fleeting, and the withdraw is dangerous (psychosis, seizures).I would go see a Dr, and lay off the GHB..in fact, the effects of Topamax are strikingly similar to GHB.

AFAIK, MAOIs don't potentiate alcohol. My own experience, in fact, was that alcohol had no noticeable effect on me when I was taking Nardil. (I didn't drink significant amounts when I was on Parnate, selegiline, and Marplan.)
I doubt there is any significant interaction with GHB. There's no pharmacologic reason to suppose there would be, and there are no case reports in the literature.
I don't think that GHB would be so great for social phobia -- I'd expect that tolerance would develop pretty rapidly. I wouldn't expect selegiline to be very good for SP either because of its l-amphetamine metabolites (I found it rather jittery, personally).
My vote is for Nardil + Klonopin or Xanax.

Studies show that there is no tolerance build up to GHB. It's dosage stays consistant indefinitely with no lowing of effectivness.
