> Clomipramine would be worth a trial instead of Amitriptyline. It is more serotoninergic, has a similar amount of noradrenaline effect, is less anticholinergic, so less dry mouth & urinary retention & alot less sedating, so it would cause less weight gain.
I've been on the Amit. for over 5 years now, I know should taper off it but I'm dreading withdrawl effects.

Do you know which particular MAOI is most widely used and effective for social anxiety?
If the clonazepam is going to be very expensive
I will sacrfice the food and give an MAOI a go- so I can stop being a scaredy cat of people,
get a job, life etc etc :O)Regards
