Thanks for your reply.
I can not say specifically about particular drug's side effect because i was always on combination of drugs.But,I can say that SSRI gave me severe stomach pain and stomach acidity.Venlafaxine and Mirtazapine constipation and all the banzo made me feel drowsy and i felt like sleeping for 24 hours.But,I can tolerate these adverse effects if they are accompnied by symptoms improvements.
The exact symptoms are as described below.
When I meet any person,the first thought comes to my mind is that I am inferior person and he is superior to me.I feel like the other person is observing my every movement and I feat that either he is laughing at me,he will humiliate me or he will insult me or if he is person of some authority he will get angry with me.When I am supposed to go to anybody's home,I start thinking about that "frightning" moment and i keep on thinking about the same thing till i go to person's home.I am not able to think anything else during that period.I mean the anticipatory anxiety is very tough.I feel like I am "on the edge".This is the feeling when person feels that some imminent danger is near.Many times,my hands tremble just before meeting or during meeting also.Well,I am not in the depths of bad feeling.The phobia has not become worse right now then it was before.I mean it is horrible definitely but it is same as it always was and not increased right now.And,I can say very confidently that none of the drugs or combination of drugs has any positive impact whatsoever. I have neve said doctor that there is even small improvement in my symptoms.I hope i have made myself more clear.Thanks once again.
