Hi Zeugma, I have tried Anafranil, and yes, it's the most powerful med I have ever tried. But it didn't help me in the social area. Just the opposite. I had the tendency to isolate myself too. I avoided people and liked to stay at home watching film and reading books. I have a theory regarding this. Antidepressants make you feel different emotions, emotions that the other doesn't feel. This make us more difficult to communicate. Ok, it maybe a stupid theory and it's not very encouraging but this is what I've experienced. Anyway, I have tried four different SSRIa and Anafranil didn't make me feel so detached from my feelings as SSRIa did. Not so much. If you want to stay on antidepressants Anafranil may be your best choice. I've on it for 7 years. Best wishes
