Hey all! I'm new to this forum, diagnosed with pretty severe social phobia. I've had SP since I was about 10 yrs. old (26 now), but for the last few years I've been able to bring it down pretty significantly by trying various herbs and meds.
I've researched the theories re: physiological causes of SP, and as a result of what I've found on the net as well as my own experiences, I believe that GABA dysfunction is the main contributor to this illness, though I'm sure other neurotransmitters are involved somehow.
So I'm wondering about the experiences that people suffering from anxiety (especially SP) have had with GABA agonists, such as tiagabine (Gabatril), vigabatrin (Sabril), picamilone, baclofen, gabapentin, etc.
Thanks a lot. Good luck to everyone.
