Thanks for the feedback. I too prefer amphetamine for ADHD, but the only psychiatrist in town is more concerned with her ego than my welfare and has never heard of Desoxyn, which I've used successfully for years (at a very small dose, too; I might add). Consequently, I'm considering augmenting Ritalin w/ Piribedil just to see what happens. Other amphetamines have too many peripheral side effects to tolerate.
Nardil should work wonders for the SA, but you may have to forego orgasms. Parnate is better in that regard, but not so widely used for SA.
In either event, in order to reach therapeutic levels I've found it necessary to ramp up the dosage beyond the norm and THEN titrate downwards to reach a steady state. In the case of Nardil, I believe I'd get up to 5 x 15 mg/day, stay at that for a week, then work down to 3 x 15mg/day.
I hope you can give the MAOIs a fair trial sometime soon. You will have to give them at least a month to kick in, so don't expect an overnight miracle.
Best of luck to you!
