Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 It's human nature to want to find a " cure " for our suffering, or at the very least pinpoint a universal causative factor. Through the years I have read, sometimes with a giddy feeling akin to amusement, about theories that vary from seemingly reasonable to impossibly stupid. Some great postulator, after patiently explaining to the eager red masses what the cause of cea is, will let us in on the cure. That's why we are occasionally treated to some character who writes something along the lines of: " …and so I reached the logical conclusion that mutant dermal mites are the cause of cea. I'm convinced that a vaccine I am developing in my Acme Home Lab will cure cea. I suspect that the medical community is already aware of a dermal mite vaccine, but they're making so much money treating cea rather than curing it... " Or: " I no longer eat processed carbs and now my cea is cured. If every cean out there followed my lead, they would be cured. I graciously accept your anticipated thanks for my telling you this. " And now we have Body Dysmorphic Disorder along with SSRI, Selective seritonin re-uptake inhibiter. Eureka! Who would have thunk it?! It's reached the point where I halfway expect someday to read: " ..And after I came out of hypnosis, the hypnotist told me that I had witnessed Fluffy hit by a car when I was a child. After he helped me work through my feelings of forgotten grief and terror, my cea was cured. If every cean went through hypnosis, they would discover some repressed trauma which they could then resolve and cure their cea. " I just hope, when that day comes, this helpful humanitarian doesn't get all wily and greedy and post something like: " I have discovered the cure for cea. Send me $10 and a SSAE and I will let you have it. " I hope that's not what you were doing, Mr. Paris. Jillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 , what is the chemical name of Seroxat? I'm not familiar with it. (Is it Serax (oxazepam), which is a valium-type medication.) You show good insight into BDD, and into your own condition. Sometimes that can make things more painful, but it really is a hopeful sign. Good luck, Marjorie Marjorie Lazoff, MD I apologize to those who email me privately and don't receive a personal reply.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 Thanks to the senorita who informed me that Seroxat is Paxil (an SSRI). Assuming it's dosed the same, then 20mg is considered a just starting dose. Those with social phobias and other issues involving significant self- consciousness over appearance may be interested in this abstract (the drugs spoken about in the last sentence include the new antidepressant from Merck we talked about several weeks ago): Expert Opin Investig Drugs 2000 Oct;9(10):2215-31 Drugs in development for social anxiety disorder: more to social anxiety than meets the SSRI. Ameringen MV, Mancini C, Farvolden P, Oakman J. Anxiety Disorders Clinic, McMaster University Medical Centre, Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation, 1200 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON, L8N 3Z5, Canada. vanamer@... Individuals with social phobia (SP) fear and avoid a wide variety of social and performance situations in which they are exposed to unfamiliar persons or to possible scrutiny by others. The lifetime prevalence of SP is estimated to be as high as 13%. It is frequently co-morbid with and usually precedes the onset of other psychiatric illnesses and is associated with significant occupational and social impairment, including academic and vocational underachievement. Fortunately, there are effective treatments for this common and debilitating condition. There is currently considerable evidence for the efficacy of pharmacotherapy and especially the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in the treatment of this disorder. However, SSRIs are generally preferred as the first-line treatment of choice due to the advantages of SSRIs over MAOIs in terms of safety and tolerability. Despite encouraging results, current treatments most often produce partial symptomatic improvement, rather than high end-state functioning. While current first line treatments for social phobia target the serotonergic system, it is important to remember that different social fears are likely to have different developmental roots and may be based on quite different neurobiological systems. In this article we provide a review of current pharmacotherapeutic options for SP, current knowledge of the neurobiology of SP, and a review of new and promising directions in pharmacological research. It is increasingly clear that serotonin (5-HT) is unlikely to be the whole story in SP and that other brain chemical systems, especially the dopaminergic, noradrenaline-corticotropin releasing hormone and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) dependent systems, most probably have an important role to play in a substantial percentage of cases. A number of new and novel agents, including the substance P antagonists, GABA agonists and CRF antagonists show considerable promise in the treatment of SP. However, in order to enhance the understanding of the neurobiology and treatment response of SP, we need to develop more sophisticated theory-driven typologies of SP.
