In reply to Better than Nardil or Klonopin for Social Phobia?, posted by jb on March 9, 2001, at 15:50:08
> Hi. I have extreme social phobia - presenting in front of groups, speaking in front of groups, being in one-on-one meetings with senior bosses, etc. I've tried a number of drugs: Nardil, Parnate, Klonopin, Valium, Remeron, Neurontin (Gabapentin), etc. Nardil and Klonopin seem to be the best combination, by far. But, Nardil makes me gain weight and makes for complete sexual dysfunction. Klonopin causes short-term amnesia, and is kind of a dumb drug, at least for me.
Hi JB.
For the past year I have treated my social phobia with low-dose (150mg/d) Sulpiride, with moderate success. Others have had success with Amisulpride (25-100mg).
However I have all but stopped the Sulpiride since starting Lamotrigine 17 days ago. My life-long s. phobia is barely detectable now & I'm still on what's considered a sub-therapeutic dose(37.5mg/d). [perhaps the dosing works differently 4 s. phobia, tho' I've never actually read about it being used for this indication]
Just some thoughts...
Jah.
