Not surprised the Wellbutrin didn't work out for you. You probably want to stay away from those energizing antidepressants. If I'm not mistaken, that inlcudes Effexor.
I like the buspar/Zoloft suggestion. People often say of Zoloft that it gives them a flat affect; maybe that would help take the edge off for you. And it has been approved for social anxiety disorder, again, I think. At any rate, its been out a long time and might be available in generic form.
It sounds like you are fairly isolated...We're glad you are here. You're in a good place. You'll probably gets lots of advise on meds, (and if you don't try re-posting with something about anxiety meds in the subject).
Stick around and let us know how you are doing.
Hoping for your peace,
Suzie
