Hello.
I have a unipolar depression, low energy, drive, initiative, anhedonia, dysthymia, motivation, conectration problems.....
I also have severe Social Anxiety (which leads to isolation and quite frankly NO social life at all). I think my depression and SA are intimately related.
Even when I take some klonopin and go out I still don't enjoy whatsoever going around me. I am just a social anhedonic. I don't enjoy the interaction at all. Plus, it does not take the Klonopin too much to make the depression worsen.
Can Nortriptyline help my conditions?
What about adding low dose of an atypical antipsychotic, such as risperdal ?! I read that it can help ppl at very low doses who sufer from Schizoid Personality Disorder (which is charactarized by social withdrawal, social anhedonia, social detachment and flatted affect)
Thanks for reading so far, and taking the time to respond:)
Kristel.
