Hi Tom,
>Are MAOIs like SSRIs were the anxiety gets worse intially and then improves?
Yes, that can definitely happen....although it seems to be less common than with SSRIs.
Can you get a small dose of diazepam to take for a couple of weeks? eg. 2mg three times a day. I know it's not easy to get a prescription for diazepam but it might really help you while you adjust to the isocarboxazid.
Also.....I think your anxiety might be worse than normal due to withdrawal from your previous medication. This should pass in a few weeks.
Kind regards
