Cara, Phillipa - Social Phobia - I am 61 and have had it my whole life - tried many meds in the past, but my concerns over addiction to Benzo's has always convinced me to stop them. So after almost 60 years of trying to deal with this life wrecking condition in many different ways, I'm really still in the same place. Cara - If your husband, partner, can't understand and really most people can't, he better look deep inside and conjure up some compassion. To make you feel worse about your curse, is just the opposite of how someone who "loves" you needs to be. Nardil is powerful for SP (the old formula anyway), and for a year I was a different person - I just opened up, and was even playing music in public again - something which seems inconceivable at the moment. Too many side effects so I stopped. This is my 5th day on Emsam, cut a 6mg in half - some agitation, but not intolerable. No help yet for depresstion and anxiety. In a few days I will up the dose unless things get worse. I still want to get over this, even if it is just for the last few years of my life - I wish you and everyone here, freedom from our suffering. Richard
