In reply to Social Phobia help please, posted by jonh kimble on April 8, 2002, at 19:43:15
> Hi im an 18 year old guy whos had symptoms of sp (biggest problem), cronic fatigue and a.d.d.for about four years. Ive done ALOT of research and have been to two psychologists and tried about 10 meds, all with no response, actually two made me worse. I find relief in of social inhibition with booze(who doesnt), nicotene (strange isnt it. lasts for about 1 minute then i feel worse for about 10 minutes.)and some stims, but every stim ive tried lasts for about 5 - 10 minutes then i feel worse. Parnate and dexedrine also had this effect, and i know they are like amphetamines. I currently suspect some problem with DA or NE. Anyway, im trying adrafinil as has been recomended for all these symptoms, but at three weeks, still no response. Im interested in hearing from anyone with any comments and would be happy to share anything else.
johnh,
You mentioned you picked up ADD and CFS symptoms as well as the social phobia.
Can you describe the ADD symptoms?
- have trouble sitting still, etc?
Also, what are the CFS symptoms?
Is the depression somthing like:
- over sleep
- feel like crap in the morning, better at night
- maybe overeat
- general feeling of sad
- strong feeling of rejection
- feelings of heaviness in limbsPeople with bipolar II disorder (more subtle form of bipolar) VERY common have comorbid ADD like symptoms and also what is called "atypical depression" symptoms (above).
