I have the same problems, depression anxiety social phobia, and Nardil changed my life. Pizza is a small trade off for calm and happy and a social life. The diet is a pain in the tush sometimes but you can still go for sushi.
I haven't seen much to recommend wasting ones time with mobeclomide, but Parnate and selegeline are just fabulous for a lot of people. MAOIs are really impressive stuff for some people's social phobia. In my research mobeclomide looked like a waste of time as it inhibits MAO-A, which is the kind mostly in the body. MAO-B is what you want to get rid of as it's the kind in your brain. Social anxiety does not reside in the small intestine. It only seems to.
I've never heard of the other drug, but mixing MAOIs of any sort with other stuff is a tricky last resort kind of thing. (Do you mean anafranil?) You need to talk to a full on biopsychopharmachologist about that.
Been there, done it, hope you feel better soon
