I joined this club thinking I would be hearing from people that have
battled away Social Anxiety Disorder and/or Clinical Depression. But
it seems that barely any of you are in treatment (be that Medicinal
or Cognitive Behaviour Therapy). I just keep reading the same posts
over & over, about how these illnesses are ruining your lives. I
really wish some people that've gotten better would post messages.

I myself am going through Electro Convulsive Therapy (ECT). I've had
4 so far. Don't notice any results as of yet... but my Social Phobia
Specialist said that should come after about 6-10 treatments.
Everyone's different. He's hoping the ECT will drive away the
Clinical Depression, then we'll try an AntiPsychotic like
Zyprexa/Olanzapine to battle away the Anxiety Disorder.

Just thought i'd update you all, on where I was in treatment. Not
sure if i'll be hanging around these clubs anymore.

P.S. I've tried Prozac, Celexa, Nardil, Effexor, Nardil, Wellbutrin,
Neurontin, Remeron, Ativan, Xanax & Valium with no benefit to speak
of. The only thing that ever helped me was Paxil/Paroxetine
HCI/Seroxat. But it only worked for 3 weeks, & never again.
