Hey Technohed
I wish I had something positive to say about Marplan, but I’m afraid my experience is similar to yours
I mainly suffer from social phobia, with a nice bit of GAD thrown inMarplan wasn’t my first choice of Med, it would have been Nardil but the doc I saw preferred Marplan for some stupid reason
I started Marplan on the 6th of July, but I only went up to 30mgs last Tuesday.
As with you Marplan initially worsened my anxiety
I think it’s a good idea to start with just one or two tablets for the first few weeks, and then work upAt 30mgs Marplan is helping my anxiety a little, but not my depression or crucially my Social Anxiety
I have a nasty feeling that Marplan doesn’t work as well as Nardil for SA Maybe it helps if the main problem is depression with some SA, but I don’t think it will work for primary SA, at least in my caseTo be fair there are people who get good results with Marplan for SA
Wish I could find a doctor who took SA seriously in the UK.........
