If this is true, it's amazing, but I haven't found any other studies on this issue. Anyone have any info or experience with this?

> Sorry for all the questions. I hope everybody had a nice holiday.I've been on Xanax XR & regular forms. I developed tolerances to both of them though. So, I'm currently sticking with my Klonopin although I don't always take it. I was on Nardil for 2 months a little while ago but I found it didn't provide enough relief for me as far as "social motivation". Plus, I was too tired and had some mild memory problems on Nardil. I'm now on Parnate(starting week 3) only 20-30mg/day. The side effects were bad for me on the first week of Parnate(worse than Nardil) but they aren't that bad now. I'm getting some relief from my Social Anxiety and other disorders but I'm not yet where I wanna be. Hopefully, the Parnate pro-social effects will get stronger as I increase the dose.... too early to tell. Anyways, I posted some references about Social Anxiety and the Dopamine relation below. You should especially check out the first one.
