Beyond the recommended psychotherapy, what is the latest on social phobia treatment? I am also diagnosed with BP II (formerly depression/SP and GAD). I won't go into the details of my challenges, as I don't want you to have to read a book...
I have taken Zoloft by itself (quit), zoloft and wellbutrin (quit), Neurontin by itself (quit), Topamax (quit), Lamictal with Keppra (currently).
So I hear things about Gabitril, Nardil, and Klonopin, etc. The benzos never seemed to do anything for me, and I tried most all of them (including Klonopin). Neurontin (quit)helped a little with social anxiety (and I think my Lamictal does too). But what's the best choice right now? Any recommendations?

I forgot to say I also broke out into a rash on my foot and on my thigh and got jaw pain. This wasn't from Wellbutrin directly, but it was probably a result of the anxiety that Wellbutrin encouraged. I NEVER got rashes or stuff like that before...

Wow... you sound like me. I've tried most of those things too. I'm on Nardil now, and it seems to be working great so far... Before I was on it, I would be so stressed out and anxious I wouldn't have even typed this post.
