In reply to Re: Any SSRI/other? good as Nardil for Social Phobia?, posted by Adam on November 3, 1999, at 19:05:12
Adam suggested Remeron, stating the weight gain may be easier to control...I don't know. I 've always been a very disciplined person in my diet, but Remeron wiped that out. I could not stop eating...and I had problems staying awake.
As mentioned above, the SSRIs should all be helpful with social phobias. But there is the sexual dys. and I noticed the effects taper over time.
I'm taking Serzone and notice a difference in social settings after three weeks. I think quite a few people try it for social phobia, judging from earlier threads. No weight problems (actually easier to lose weight) and no sexual probs. I'd give it a whirl maybe while waiting for Reboxetine? Although I don't think Reb. would work on general anxiety/worry (I say that b.c. it sounds similar to welbutrin.
Never tried Nardil, but wouldn't considering my reaction to Remeron...
I'll be interested to know what you try.
