Is Provigil one of those new meds for anxiety? I had social anxiety disorder for a few years. It was very intense at times. In grade 12, I had a biology class that discussed many topics orally. Every single class I would have a panic attack. Sometimes the attacks would be the entire length of the class, which was 75 minutes long. My average HR when around other people was probably around 120 bpm. Talk about anxiety! Effexor seemed to take care of this and more. Now when put in social situations, I am the one who stands out.
I know that most AD's, especially serzone, the ssri's and effexor are effective in treating anxiety disorders. Have you tried buspirone or one of the beta blockers? Good luck!
