Is paxil still the only SP drug??

Posted by woolav on September 16, 2005, at 9:46:00

I know that nardil and parnate are also rx'd for social anxiety, but it seems the pdocs i have dont like prescribing them.
Like I said before I take klonopin now, and its good, but i need something for a short amount of time. I am job hunting and whenever i start a new job i am so scared that i dont talk to co-workers etc and then i am lonely and get depressed etc etc
so, i dont want to be like that this time. I am wondering if adding a small dose of paxil or something similar will help. currently i take
(for bp2)
40mg prozac
300 mg lamictal
600 mg trileptal
3mg of klonopin
thanks

Adding paxil to that will help increase side effects, but I doubt it will help you meet your treatment goals.

what about a beta-blocker, for specific situations-- I have had great success with Inderal in the past.
