> You may not see any improvements until you reach 125mg.
>Well, it's what I think also...but before I reach that dosage, maybe a switch to Nortriptyline will be more helpfull for me since no SSRI's worked on me...
> I don't want to say that this is normal, but I imagine the increased NE available is putting you in a "fight or flight" mode. It should lessen over time. I experienced something similar with idazoxan, a drug similar to Remeron.

I understand that...but it's strange no, it's happen often and more when I live a stressfull situations or events.> Not normal, but plausible. Do you find that you are dwelling on arguments or having arguments with people in your head?
>
Sometimes...I always feel that the others people look at me and judge me...That's a part of my social anxiety problem...
> Yes. In "fight or flight" mode, this can happen as blood is shunted away from the skin and diverted to the muscles. The hairs stand on end as a response to the sudden cooling of the skin - just like when you get hit with cold water or first come out of a pool.
>So you think it's the NE effect? I always think that the Clomipramine was more effective on the SE with a weak or no NE effect...???
> Are you OCD?
No, I just have a Body dismorphic problem...similar to OCD I think... but no real obsessions...or things that I Tend to repeat or do too often...
> I really don't know what you should do right now. It depends on what conditions you are suffering from.
>
> What is your family history of mental illness?
>Ok, that's the difficult part... First my main problem is social phobia with a panic disorder problem with agoraphobia and panic attacks, depression appear more after I get addicted to the benzos drugs...and I have also a general anxiety problem with BDD (Body dysmorphic disorder).
For now, my main problem is the BDD and the general anxiety with the usual lack of motivation, the lack of energy at daytime, the insomnia at night and the constant anxiety level, alone or in social events...
