In reply to Respirdal / Zyprexa for social anxiety/dysthymia?, posted by Kristel on October 27, 2004, at 15:13:52
Never tried Zyprexa. Took Risperdal, 1mg, for a few days, was way too much, then ~0.25-0.5mg for about a month: Depression was worse; social anxiety- little change-- maybe a tad less anxiety but far far less prosocial (did not have the motivation, energy, or will to talk very much at all).
i agree with what Todd (King Vultan) said about APs and these conditions.
As far as pharmacological mechanisms, a great drug chart with some of that information, that i originally found here (PsychoBabble) from someone, is:
