Thanks for making me feel so welcome :).
Gardenergirl, thanks for your response. I have seen a psychiatrist a couple of times, but our meetings were brief and he stressed the need to get some pyschotherapy more than anything else, and he supported my GP's choice of meds (as firstlines anyway). I may have to go back as my family doctor is not comfortable prescribing maoi nor benzo's (i think he's worried about abuse potential???). Of course, there is so few pdocs (is that the abrreviation?) and such a high demand for them, its problematic getting a knowledge person to help with these things.
I will spend some time on the meds board I think, so thanks again.
Fibe, thanks for your post too. You may be right about the anxiety driving the depression. I try to analyse myself sometimes, trying to decide if the depression is just secondary to the social phobia, but can't be sure.
Thanks again,
superman
