First off, I'm glad you think the algorithm turned out okay. I'm going to be starting up a *very* detailed site based entirely on the treatment of anxiety disorders (e.g. clinical studies, case reports, personal experiences [that I hope Babblers wouldn't mind submitting], drug monographs, etc. ad nauseam), and becksA's posts just gave me a little incentive to get started. Any suggestions for changes to the algorithm?
I'm sure Strattera + SSRI has the potential to be a great combo for SP, in some people. The effect would after all, in theory, be a lot like Effexor (NE + 5HT reuptake inhibition). That could fall under "Step 5" of my algorithm, I suppose... I plan on adding a lot more detailed information pertaining to "Step 5" in the near-future.
Also, I wholeheartedly agree about CBT being an integral part of any SP treatment-plan that is aimed at eventual remission (esp. CBT + medication). Perhaps you saw my posts on here and on Psychological-Babble concerning Medicaid's upcoming cancellation of therapy coverage -- if you did, you know that I very highly value my therapy (and, perhaps even more so, my therapist in particular) and I'm just infuriated that I won't be able to receive therapy after I turn 21 on Jan. 5.
