In reply to Social Anxiety -- Out of options..., posted by mattw84 on January 13, 2006, at 23:03:32
Do you get partial relief with SSRIs or anything else and have you tried various SSRIs? My daughter has social phobia and had about a 40% response with Lexapro. Adding Provigil helped both mood and social anxiety a bit more. She was then switched to Zoloft, which not only worked better for the SA, but also had less side effects. Adding low dose Seroquel has helped even more. We're going to try adding some Provigil now to see if we get more of a response for SA and attention.
I personally had anxiety relief from Neurontin when I was on it. I'm interested in trying pregablin to see if it will help. With me, social anxiety is due somewhat to chronic pain, so anything that helps pain makes me want to socialize more. Pain and fatigue just make the desire to socialize so not worth the effort.
