I also have Social Anxiety Disorder and Depression... social anxiety for me is prominent. I think it's what caused my OCPD symptoms. As far as medications... I really don't know. I haven't had much of any luck with everything I've tried. I don't think Ssri's will help at all. Have you tried Anafranil? I've heard of some success with it. Other than that, Nardil's been said to be good.

> What meds have you taken? No success with any you say? Im on a tca now, but it doesnt seem to be helping that much! Hvae you tried Klonopin? I have heard such good things about this med?

>I've taken/tried Paxil, Effexor, Prozac+Risperdal Combo, Dexedrine, St. John's Wort, Kava Kava. I've thought about Klonopin but I have bad memory problems and I'm constantly tired all the time. So I would like to find a med that is more activating.
