> Is your social phobia under control with Paxil & Klonopin?
Yes. The first dose of Paxil 20mg made me an instant social butterfly. :) But then it pooped out (meaning I was on too low of a dose) so my new pdoc doubled it to 40mg. This seems to work. The klonopin helps tremendously as well.
> There is no way you are going to like Cogentin either, as it is an anticholinergic.Yes, I figured that out the hard way. I think I am allergic to anything with anticholinergic effects (a child's dose of Benadryl makes me feel miserable for 3 DAYS).
I called my pdoc about it and she said to take only half of a Cogentin and if I still can't stand it don't take it at all. It is only there to ameliorate some of the side effects of the Haldol, but it has its own (much more unpleasant) side effects of its own.
