I'm 34 male severe SP since 19.
Treatment since 27 when discovered SP and my
diagnosis.

Yes, options and more options you will certainly
find things that work. Maybe 2 meds combined
will work best or maybe 1 alone.

I do not personally like Paxil at all.
I take medium dose Nardil 60mg, + 2.5 KLonopin +
75 Provigil.

Jack Gorman "Essential Guide to Psychiatric Drugs"
v3, 1997 version 3 $8, smaller paperback
amazon . com great book!!!!

John Marshall "Social PHobia" 1994 (older I know)
but still GREAT BOOK. < $10, amazon . com

I have a new website if you want to check
it out, might give some ideas.

http://www.socialfear.com/

I highly recommend the 2 paperbacks and
searching MEDLINE (very very good)

Search for "social phobia" and look back
as far as you can if it takes hours. good stuff
there.

Believe me, there is all kinds of treatments
especially combinations that can help
immensilely.

> I've always been on the "timid" side (though I do have my assertive moments), but something has happened and now I experience times of what I'd call "social anxiety" - I start to feel very anxious and nervous if I'm out and about and I'm someplace where there's the possibility of running into people I have not seen in a while (and having to "explain" my absence; I cocooned myself while in the depths of depression and anxiety). I even try to avoid such situations.
