Thank you Tomatheus and Cat. It means a lot to have the nice welcomes and thoughtful replies as a newcomer. Tomatheus, I'm enjoying reading through your blog a little about your experiences with meds. I read that you had quite a strong response to Paxil. Did you have difficulty getting off of it? I hesitate to choose this drug again because of some people's reactions to withdrawal. I hope your abilify is helping you now. And thank you for the ideas on alternatives (both of you). Although I tell myself I don't have the motivation or that it won't help to exercise or meditate or take another multivitamin, I do know that it would help at least a little. I haven't ventured to try either of the SNRIs yet that you mentioned Cat. I will keep them as ideas. Its good to know that someone benefited socially from them.
I know it is highly individual but what meds have you both found to be most effective for atypical depression and social anxiety? Thanks again
