> I'm earlier on in the failed-drug test stage than you but also frustrated. I've tried - and been unable to tolerate - Prozac, Risperdal, Lexapro (more benign but not efficacious), and most recently, Luvox. Best experience was with Nardil (therapeutically, but side effects became impossible to handle). Problem is OCD but of most important, acute social anxiety. How have

chemist here....are you in denmark? marplan has been deep-sixed by roche, as far as i know....an MAOI with some nasty side-effects....for social anxiety, paxil has tooted its horn, but i personally do not like the drug. the standard - well, it seems to be - for social anxiety is klonopin (clonazepam). your effexor and zoloft are overstimulating taken concurrently. my opinion is that reducing one of the 2 antidepressants (in addition to dumping marplan, which when taken with zoloft and/or effexor can lead to hypertension, although i am not aware if marplan is reversible, or A or B, so please correct me if i am wrong) would be a step in the right direction.....all the best, chemist
