Hi,
Do any of you know anything about Edronax being marketed for social anxiety disorder. I have pretty severe social phobia. I'd like to get away from the benzodiazepines, but the ssri's and others seem cause too many negative side effects - at least for me.
I've also heard of reboxetine being used in conjuction with the MAOI's - such as Phenelzine. Although its supposed to reduce the chance for hypertensive crisis resulting from tyramine (the so-called "cheese effect"), does it have any other benefit? Such as, alleviating sexual dysfunction and weight gain?

If the Tricylic Antidepressant problem for you is the anticholinergic side effects, you might discuss with your doctor about the option of using Evoxac which is pro-cholinergic, and is marketed for Sjogrens Syndrome, along with a Tricylic Antidepressant.
One's hope would be that Evoxac might lessen the anticholinergic effect of a Tricylic antidepressant.
If your doctor is unfamilliar with Evoxac, you can either get offical prescribing information from a pharmacy or perhaps from the company who manufactures Evoxac. If your doctor is not comfortable doing that, perhaps he/she could refer you to a physician who would be better aquainted with the use of Evoxac
(pronounced e-vo-zac)Just an option to look into.
