> In August I was placed on Phenobarb after being a daily user of clonazepam for over a year and a half. Just stop talking about..God, I was so delusional on Kpins. Just. Go. To. Detox. You are a different person on benzos. You REALLY acknowledge that after the fact. Life gets so much better...I never thought I'd quit. I'm only 20 tho

Phenobarb has been used for decades for sedative detox. I prefer brand-name Valium for high-0dose bento detox, but phenbarb works as well. However, I don't trust many hospital generics when you buy the cheapest generic available, SOMETIMES stuff happens. Im a psychiatrist with a PhD in Psychopharmacology

Treatment Resistant Social Anxiety!

Posted by Tom Twilight on October 25, 2006, at 12:34:58


I've got treatment resistant Social Anxiety :(

Its really frustrating because I've tried so many things, and nothing works long term.

I'm currently on Nardil 75mg, the "Gold Standard"

Its helping GAD, but does nothing for SA.

I worry about becoming deppendent on Benzo's and they don't do much either.

Only opiates seem to help, its strange odd

I don't know were all the social phobics have gone on babble!
Should I push the Nardil up to 90mg?
Is D-cycloserine worth trying?

Barbs and Benzos

> A lot of people report the same thing. It's one of the long-acting barbs and perhaps the least likely to be abused.

That reminds me of the long acting benzo nitrazepam (Mogadon) now you mention it. It made me feel very spaced out and I kept falling out of bed every morning for some reason. That wasn't a problem with diazepam though and that is one of the longest acting benzos according to Ms. Ashton's equivalence chart.

Do you have any experience with barbs yourself christophrejmc? I have heard of a few lone gun pdocs still prescribing them occasionally and there are always pharmacy raids of course. I suppose a short acting barb may be fun to some people, but I've always found benzos to be more pleasurable myself.

What about Trileptal (Oxcarbazepine)?
