In reply to ? for those with SP--------anyone?, posted by woolav on September 4, 2004, at 18:25:26
dont think this is the right board for this post, but i dont know where else to post it..
I have read that those with social phobia, or other phobia's for that matter didnt just get it out of the blue..What I read was that it came from untreated panic disorder..So, I am wondering if once you have the phobia, can it be reversed ever?? (like maybe if the panic disorder is treated)??
Any info appreciated.

That's an excellent question. What I do know is that social phobia generally starts early, often before the age of ten, and is often accompanied by panic attacks. But medications that are effective in panic disorder (desipramine, nortriptyline for example) are ineffective for SP, implying a different underlying pathology.
