> Nardil has a Gaba effect and might help if your SP is accompanied by great anxiety, physical or emotioinal. Parnate might be a better choice when if you think you lack motivation/confidence in social situations. Its stimulant like effect might improve confidence/cognition. If you think your phobia is accompanied by a lack of confidence then this one might help more.

>What Linkadge said is pretty good. Nardil causes weight gain, Parnate is probably one of the few AD's that doesn't. Nardil nearly allways lowers blood pressure, can go either way on Parnate & is more likely to cause a hypertensive crisis if you eat something bad.
