Hi folks
I'm considering taking an maoi for social anxiety-
so there's somethings I won't be able to eat- but
it's a sacrifice I've realised is worth making.I am little confused about Nardil- it's availability in Australia, whether the new formula is effective as the old and what differences there are to Parnate.

Says in regards to Nardil in Australia:
Link Pharmaceutical's are importing Nardil and you need "Special Access" to purchase it. "special Access" means that your doctor has to order it for you and give it to you.
Is this true? Does it mean they give you the pack or they have to monitor every individual pill you take?
Anyone here taking Parnate or Nardil in Aust.?
Has there been much information on whether the new Nardil is as effective with SAD then the old one?
What is the difference with Parnate?
This page
http://www.anxietynetwork.com/spmed.html
says Parnate is better because of its
added noradrenergic and dopaminergic effects, lower side effects and quicker time to work,
is uplifting and motivating for people with social anxiety.I am going to see my general practioner this week and will ask them what is and isn't available here in Australia, but would love to hear from anyone who has any of the answers to my questions.
Damian.
