> I don't know if it's just me or what but it seems doctors are very quick to prescribe Risperdal, Zyprexa or Seroquel to people who are not psychotic these days. I have been diagnosed with social phobia and my psychiatrist has suggested everything EXCEPT minor tranquilizers and MAOI.

I would agree APs aren't first-line meds for social phobia & the like. That said, a selective AP (low-dose Sulpiride) is the *only* med out of about 30 to help with my s. phobia. No side-effects. Definitely don't feel 'zombified' (tho' my low dose helps in this regard).
