Social Anxiety Support

Iwillovercomeanxiety1 · 06-25-2012, 05:01 PM

So I keep hearing that social anxiety can be largely attributed to lack of dopamine or improper dopamine regulation in the brain. So shouldn't dopaminergic drugs potentially work great for SA? Which dopamine type drugs work well for SA, that are legal and don't have tolerance issues? So no amphetamines, etc. How about drugs for Parkinsons? Would love to hear everyone's experiences and/or knowledge of different potential helpful and safe dopaminergic drugs for anxiety...

Dopaminergic drugs are highly addictive mostly because of the reward system being attributed to Dopamine neurotransmitters and tolerance will always exist. Domapinergic drugs can help a lot with SA but I find that they don't help in the long run. There are other treatments with Serotonergic drugs (yes serotonin is also a probable cause for SA) such as some Antidepressants like Zoloft.

I got rid of SA with Zoloft and it has nothing to do with Dopamine. It is true however that SA can be caused by many factors and other people may not need help with Serotonin, but that's your task to find out.
