Hi,Taipans,Medications can be frustrating to fine tune I know.I too have suffered from chronic social anxiety throughout my life and tried many different meds.My condition is fairly involved by multiple diagnosis but anxiety seems to be an overiding symptom in all.I am currently taking Wellbutrin 300mg,lamictal 200mg,and respirdal.I find the respirdal slows down my thoughts a bit so that I can think more clearly and not feel so paniced in otherwise "normal" circumstances.I become so anxiety ridden that I can become psychotic.The respirdal really does take the edge off.When my anxiety is controlled, I look back and realize just how much I was struggling with everyday things that most people take for granted.It really is amazing how much social anxiety can affect everything you do and all of your plans and decisions!I think it's great that you are continuing to try out all of your options,and would urge you to keep looking because,despite the side effects and adjustments,you won't believe the HUGE difference it will make in every facet of your life.You will find the right one for you {or ones).Keep us posted.Take care.Jill.
