Yeah its very interesting. Interesting theories on the cause of the anti-anxiety properties of MAOIs.
I'm a little suspicious of some of the statements though:
"In the treatment of social phobia, characterized by an exaggerated fear of exposing oneself to the scrutiny of others, the response rate of phenelzine is 60–70% (142,145). Moclobemide has similar efficacy (146)."
I know there is little research into Moclobemide and SP, but I'm strongly skeptical about this drug. I certainly haven't seen any anecdotes of people getting a robust anti-sp effect from it.
