I was prescribed Procardia, but we also discussed Chlorpromazine (brand name "Thorazine").I'm not sure what would be considered the "best" dose to start on, but my dr prescribed me 45 mg/day. Something else I forgot to mention, my pharmacist recommended having a blood pressure monitor at home.
I was thinking about your post last night- maybe if it is the food interactions that are worrying you, you can take Clonazepam in the beginning until you feel more comfortable with the drug over time. That should help with your anxiety. But if you suffer from social phobia to the extent that I do, almost anything is worth sacrificing. So, I would try not to let the dietary restrictions scare you- you just have to be very diligent about what you are eating. I finally realized what an extreme toll it has taken on my life, and after trying every medication known to man, resorted to asking my dr for an MAOI.
