It's my understanding that there's not a Nardil or Parnate patch in the works at this time.
Question, do you say you have no interest with benzo's because of experience or from what you've heard? I can relate to the social anxiety you feel. If klonopin didn't cross my path 12 years ago I don't know how I would have got out of the house.
I take klonopin at night and when I wake up don't really feel any benzo buzz or sedation. The initial side effects only lasted a few weeks, but the anxiety relief has lasted all these years. That said, it wasn't perfect on it's own and I struggled with poor mood energy and depression, but I could work, function and feel socially comfortable.
And now with EMSAM the foggy headed side effects that "may" have been aggrivated by klonopin is gone. I guess what I'm suggesting is if EMSAM alone doesn't turn out to be the total answer for you and the social aspect of your anxiety, perhaps you might reconsider blending it with a benzo like klonopin.
Just a thought. Rob
