> I delayed my pdoc appointment to get more information....I'm considering trying an MAOI because nothing has worked for social anxiety. I've tried all the SSRI's and Neurontin for GABA. I'm pretty much at the max dose for Neurontin (800 3x daily) and I only notice a slight help. And that is with 1mg Xanax XR twice daily.

> Recently somebody posted something about considering Risperdal...I'm actually already on this (1.5mg once daily), and I think it helps even me out a bit, in terms of depression and argumentitive behavior, but not so much in anxiety. Shoudl I consider going up in this? Or trying Lamictal? Your thoughts would be appreciated...thanks

I have GAD but not social anxiety. When I switched from Risperdal to Zyprexa 90% of my anxiety disappeared. I don't take Klonopin anymore. I take 1 1/2 tablets of the smallest dosage of Zyprexa when I go to bed. I think the pills are 2.5 mg, so I am taking 3.75 mg.

I take Neurontin for sleep. It doesn't do a thing for me otherwise. I take an MAOI (Marplan) and thyroid hormone (Cytomel) for depression. I've had partial response to Marplan. I just went up to the maximum dosage (60 mg) to see it that would help.
