As this is the second AP my doctor has put me on, I have to wonder if he believes in treating my social phobia like it is a type of paranoia. If so, thats an interesting line of thought, and one could definitely describe me as socially paranoid. Yet I havent read any medical literature that shows SP can be pharmacologically treated like schizophrenic paranoia (unless a patients SP is borne out of schizophrenia).
Seems much more logical to stick to the drugs that have been proven to work for SP. SP, especially when severe and comordbid with depression, is a curse and sufferers cannot waste any more time on clean but ineffective drugs.
He may instead be trying to treat my depression with the Abilify. I dont think Ive read much at all about Abilify or APs used as monotherapy for depression.
SP/SA
AvPD
TRD
Maybe GA
