Thanks Racer for your detailed reply.I am impatient well atleast, for reduction in symptoms if not elimination.
Well, you are right i have not tried either citalopram or seartraline.All the antipsychotics you have mentioned are available in India.By the way,I am 29 years old.I will tell you something about why i am impatient.My culture is such that when person reaches some age(around 25),he(or she)is expected to get married othewise,all the family members put lots of pressure as i am subjected to.Nobody knows anything about anything like "social phobia".Also,a person needs to take care of parents partly because of lack of social security and partly because of joint family system.My parents are coming to stay with me from December and i can not even take care of myself.You have suggested psychotherapy but,there are not many good psychotherepist around and i do not think i took CBT from right person because hardly few CBT therepists exist in my country. Also,here i can not freely give suggestions to pdoctor because he or she would fill offended because i am hurting doctor's ego and self prescribing inspite of knowing nothing.
These are the reasons no pdoctors would take me seriously if i say i want to start with say monotherapy.As per my stomach problems,well,i already have GERD and gastritis and drugs make them worse.
I will try babbleometer but i am not feeling much down as i had said earlier.My depression mostly remain constant because i have dysthymia(minor chronic depression).I have heard very good things about nardil's effectivenyss in social phobia.Is not it worth trying?
