Anyone know of any or had any success? Right now Gabapentin (for shyness) is amazing but makes me hyper but it's worth taking daily. I actually go up and talk to strangers now. Funny thing is I was prescribed this for neurological pain in my arms but the side use basically cured my social phobia's and now I'm relaxed around strangers. Clonazepam is basically my back up now, I carry some around with me so if I have a panic attack I can eat a few and calm down enough to drive back home. Ativan worked better but I abused it so I decided to go to clonazepam since I don't crave it for some reason, it really doesn't do much but help me get the "noise" outside my head during severe mania.
Still with large groups of people sometimes I shut down mentally if there is just too much noise, people, or light around.
I just saw some medication for migraines (forgot the brand) and it said reduces sensitivity to light. I wonder if this could help with that.
Also what about that medication that golfers take to stop sweating and shaking when they are nervous. Anyone tried that?
