I just do not see SP as a wholly organic in cause, unless it is secondary to a personality, thought or other diorder. Thearpy is the treatment, though meds may help. Demanding the treatment be numbing drugs seems like one is totally avoiding the psychological problem at hand. I feel one has gone far beyond "treatment" and right into "lets get high". Calling it "treatment" while giving directions to go to Mexico to get Mophine Sulphate seems way far away from thearpy.

> i spent 23 years with disturbing/crippling social anxiety...i started therapy at 16, but the sp did not assuage until i began meds at 23. what do you say to that?I releazed such. ANYTHING that makes you social, i guess tends to make one dishinibitioned or whatever, and alleviates depression, anxiety, and make one a bit confident, outgoing, thus does this make such addictive, or mood altered. My rehab councilor told me ANYTHING< no matter what it is, that alters ones mindset, is a drug and addictive. GIVE ME A BREAK.
Id much rather live life happy than always nasty, antisocial, lazy, loss of self worth,ect.
Boy i bet next they will ban kava kava, because that could alter your well being.
it pisses me off that there are so many more dangerous pyc meds, than alcohol, ghb, even benzos, as long as one doesnt combine the above.
But i guess, because they all make one happy, relaxed less depressed, socialable, some how somewhere, there gonna be fucked with by out government! get my driftgeno
