I know I have bad Social Phobia. I am also diagnosed as being "bipolar spectrum".

All SSRI's, TCA's, Wellbutrin, Effexor, Serzone, Remeron, Lamictal and others, make me screamingly anxious (and hypomanic/manic, says my pdoc).

Paxil at the incredibly low dose of 1.5mg./day helped somewhat, but only w. Klonopin and Tegretol onboard. Stopped Paxil cause of irritability and side effects, and at the urging of my pdoc.

All antidepressants affect me the same way - only difference was Nardil, which totally cured my SP and depression. Then, after about 4 months, I became manic on it.

I am starting CBT, as meds. have given only partial relief at best.

I am currently very lost in the land of SP + Depression.


Meds.:
Klonopin (2mg., helps anxiety);
Tegretol (200mg. helps anxiety, I feel more "in control", makes me a bit depressed);
Neurontin (400mg., helped w. anxiety & depression for about 6 months, then "pooped", now I think it does nothing).

Best,
z
