Social anxiety has return and very strong ! oh my god. Painful fear is back, what is wrong with my bran !
M;y doctor does not understand that what causes on me depression is this fear !. So I don´t need to focus on relieving my depression, I need to focus on how to get away this fear so my depression can go away!.
Off meds I dont feel depressed, In fact I feel like a normal person when Im alone. Then I start to going out, job , people , crowds and that is so difficult, I cant interact , I CANT !!!! then I start to think about it and that is what leads me to depression.
My rochers test (bad spelling) showed that I was depressed. It was obvious that I was, I just trowed my money to the trash. It did not say something relevant, most of the information that appears on the report was something thay I said to the doctor.
Sorry to be so negative, I just don´t know what to do. Nardil was good but I did get to the point that I wanted. Now here comes this TOLVON, I dont want to be pesimistic but I dont think this med is goona help me. Im just tired, so whatahell let the doctor give me something that I have never tried

he may be willing to prescribe neurontin (as it's a drug a lot of doctor's dont seem to care too much about prescribing)... some people seem to get help from it... i guess from gaba-ergic mechanisms like nardil.
btw, what is a "rochers test", i'm trying to look for more info on this.

Dear Tepi,
I'm sorry that your anxiety is back.
When you took Nardil before, you took a maximum of 60mg. A higher dose might help your anxiety... the question is, would you be willing to accept the side effects?
Saludos!

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to redirect follow-ups regarding natural supplements to Psycho-Babble Alternative. Here's a link:
