Hi John,
sorry to hear you're having such a rough time of things. I have suffered from pretty bad SP [alongside unipolar depression], to the level where I avoid going out socially and only went out when I had to. I tried Effexor, Lustral, Sertraline, Reboxetine and Surmontil and none helped with the SP.A few months ago I started Buproprion alongside the reboxetine. For well over 6 weeks my SP was unchanged but lately [9 weeks since starting Buproprion] it has diminished to the level where I am beginning to enjoy being out and about. This struck me as odd, considering Bup's activating qualities.
If you haven't tried Bup, it might be worth a shot.
HTH,
pete.
