Dear Ace
I find your story so inspiring it almost brings tears to my eyes. I wish you all the very best in becoming a psychiatrist.
I myself have suffered from social anxiety (currently severe) and depression (currently moderate) for 14 years.
After trying nurmerous drugs, a few emotional breakdowns, and abusing recreational drugs to escape my pain I have been given clonazepam and nardil. My only query is my doc is titrating me up very slowly on the nardil, i'm currently on 30 and don't feel anything much from it or much in the way of side effects and he says "2 months and u will get full effect at that dose and then we can think about adding another 15mg"... so it's gonna be a long time to get to 60... and god forbid i don't know what i would do if this drug doesn't work for me :(.. anyways.. do u think this is titrating up a bit too slowly? i'm not sure whether to trust him or put my foot down and say i'm only waiting a month for each 15mg until i get to 60 if i'm not hving any problems with side effects.
Anyways sorry to hijack your thread with my problems :) Your story was hugely inspirational for me and I'm sure many other people who are suffering. Good luck with your studies i'm sure you will pass with flying colours!
