Hello...
Hey, it's good to 'meet' someone near my age (I'm 20 btw).
There are quite a few psycho-babblers who seem to have been helped by amisulpride (Solian) at a dose of 50mg/day. I don't think it's been formally studied in SP though, only in schizophrenia.Personally, I hate propranolol. It doesn't help my anxiety at all. It causes me: fatigue, dry eyes, blurred vision. Feel exhausted when I haven't even done anything.
Do you like diazepam, have you used it before? I've always found it somewhat helpful but only at very high doses- which my pdoc doesn't like to prescribe.
Pregabalin could be helpful for you. It could be worth a try. Your doc might be a lot more familiar with gabapentin though, my pdoc doesn't like prescrbing new drugs.
If none of the above work, it may be time to try an MAOI, probably Nardil. If you want Parnate you might have to threaten your doc at gun point!
