In reply to stim. for social phobia, posted by matthhhh on July 31, 2003, at 10:27:21
Doubtful, I think, but I've learned here that meds can affect different people differently, so who knows?
But the reason I think it is doubtful is that the stimulants can increase anxiety and are behaviorally *inhibiting* (one of the reasons they are used for ADHD). With social phobia, usually you'd be looking for a med to cause some *DISinhibition*, which is why the SSRIs are often used for social phobia.
