> I wonder if a different mood stablizer would work without such effects? I have social anxiety, no depression.I think I read one of your posts about wanting to try some Klonopin. Despite it being a benzo, it *does* have "mood stabilizing" (antimanic) effects for sure. It also happens to be the most effective (non-AD) medication for social anxiety, as well...
