THANKS, CRAIG. I'LL BE SEEING MY PSYCHDOC IN ABOUT A WEEK TO DISCUSS A CHANGE IN MEDS. HE'S A GOOD PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGIST, AND IS WILLING TO GIVE MOST THINGS A TRY, INCLUDING BUPROPION + MAOI'S, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS CONTRAINDICATED IN THE CONSERVATIVE DRUG HANDOUT LITERATURE. THE 4 ALTERNATIVES:
(1) HIGH DOSE BUSPAR (60MG/DAY). PUB MED ARTICLE. (2) HIGH DOSE NEURONTIN (3600 MG/DAY). FOUND A PUBMED ARTICLE BY PARKE-DAVIS SUGGESTING THIS HIGH DOSE WAS EFFECTIVE FOR SP.
(3) ZOLOFT OR SERZONE IN COMBINATION WITH BUSPAR (40MG/DAY). AGAIN, RAN ACROSS PUBMED CONTROLLED STUDY IN WHICH BUSPAR ENHANCES THE ANTI-PHOBIC EFFECT OF SSRI'S AND OTHER AD'S
(4) NARDIL, PLUS SOMETHING TO COUNTERACT ITS EFFECT UPON APETITE AND SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION - MAYBE DOPAMINE AGONISTS, SUCH AS BUPROPION OR SELEGILINE.WILL POST BACK ABOUT WHAT I TRY AND IT'S EFFECT.
THANKS, CRAIG. JOHNB :)
