> Before you take the sulpride or even think about ECT, you should know that you have many other options. I myself was going to do ECT, and then I found relief in a newer drug called Mirapex. Here are some more options you may not have thought of:
>
> Nefazodone - great for sleep; no sexual dysfunction; no anticholinergics side-effects.I tried - only had side effects from nefazodone.
> Lamotrigine - good side-effect profile; most antidepressant properties> Carbamazepine - less side effects than Lithium or divalproex sodium
>
> Topiramate - the newest mood-stabilizer; it promotes weight lossWhat good is a mood stabilizer for Social Phobia ?!
> Desipramine - the least side-effects of all the Tricyclics; one of the SNRIs
>
> High-dose Venlafaxine - at higher doses Venlafaxine affects more chemicals than SSRIs.
>
> Buspirone - an effective antidepressant and anxiolytic at high doses.Tried all of the above and had only side effects (including combinations)
> Dopamine Agonists - Pramipexole has two studies on it (I take it).For what ? Depression ? I don't have depression. Sorry.
> "Power Combinations" - Remeron+Effexor; Wellbutrin+Remeron, RemeronProzac
> Augmentation of anything you have tried before with Lithium, Pindolol, or Buspar (i took pindololYe, that's also for depression. Will not do much good for my SP. Except maybe buspirone - which proved useless in my case.
> Foreign medications to the US: the RIMA Moclobemide; Reboxetine; Amisulpride, etc
Tried the first two with no success.
> Atypical Neuroleptics/Antipsychotics with antidepressant properties: Risperidone, Olanzapine, SeroquelWell, that remains a big question.
> Provigil - a stimulant that is possibly effectiveTried it. It works, but only for vigilance...
> Irreversable MAOIs - Phenelzine, Tranylcypromine. Extremely Effective.
Tried phenelzine. Extremely side-effective. No effects on me otherwise.
> MAOI-B - SelegilineWell, never tried it.
> I hope that gives you _some_ hope!It does give me some, but not ovewrwhelming hope. Take care,
Jimmy
