Hi,
I'm currently a patient of Dr. Liebowitz and he is very excited about the combination of CBT and medication -- at least in my case. He says that they are finding that it is more effective than either alone. He also says that Nardil is the single most effective drug for SP. I doubt either of these ideas would surprise anyone, but it's nice to hear an expert reiterate them.

My plan is to use a range of therapies, talk, medication (very little) and general support. Beer works the best, I know, been there done that. My hope is a reasonable medication approach will prevent self medication with alcohol and a little relief will help them lead fuller lives.
