In reply to Social Phobia results for moclobemide (Manerix)?, posted by David Mirtzer on December 20, 1999, at 10:03:40
OK, here we go:-
Started taking moclobomide 7 weeks ago for social phobia. No positive results so far (no side effects either). I saw my psychiatrist only a few days ago and he said I should move upto 900mg and give it another 6 weeks. If after then there have been no effects he said I should augment it with Lithium.
As for co-morbid conditions - I also suffer from depression which is a sympton of the social phobia. I was originally tagged as "atypically depressed"
My primary symptons I guess are panic attacks which lead to avoidance of all social situations and consequently depression.
The only other meds I have tried are Prozac and Effexor (which date back to my earlier diagnosis of "atypical depression"). I also attend weekly psychotherapy sessions
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to bear all David. I'd be interested to know your story as well.
