Welcome SadSuzie, and my 2¢

It's great to have you de-Lurking! As KarenB said, I hope you'll keep us posted on how you are doing.
BTW I also have social phobia, plus depression (in remission except still tiredness, lethargy) and what may be ADD without hyperactivity.

Now for my 2¢:

I can try to find it if you want, or a medline search may turn it up, but regarding tianeptine I read recently that, in spite of it being a Serotonin Reuptake Agonist, it resulted in elevated Serotonin levels after chronic use. For whatever that's worth.

Regarding Sulpiride, mentalhealth.com has a monograph for it ( http://www.mentalhealth.com/drug/p30-s06.html#Head_2 )
A monograph for the apparently similar med "Solian" (amisulpride) is found at http://solian.com.ph/solian_monograph.html
Each of these has something to say about low-dose v. high-dose use (low dose apparently being what we'd want) but the Solian monograph is more explicit regarding particular dosages and the different neurochemical actions at these doses.

Lastly, Neurontin or Kava Kava may be effective in reducing social anxiety. Each has worked for me but Neurontin is causing memory problems of the "absent mindedness" sort so probably I will switch back (or to Klonopin).

peace and health,

S.D.
