> If you were not taking 1mg/kg Nardil, you weren't taking enough to be able to say you gave it a fair trial. If you want to be absolutely sure, have your doctor measure your platelet MAO level before you start the med, then follow it down to 80% of the pre-drug level. I have never spoken to anyone whose doctor has done this, however. I trust that a lot more than logarhythmic relationships, which do not seem to always make sense, esp. for overweight/underweight people.

>Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried a lot of different smart drugs. I only get mild relief from them... some actually make my focus worse by making me more "spaced out". Adderall helps my focus and some aspects of my social anxiety but makes other aspects worse. And anything too serotonergic seems to give me cognitive problems. I don't know... maybe I'll give Nardil another try. I really need something that works for fear and boosts my confidence. Again, thanks for the input,
Josh
