> I'm starting the Nardil for extreme social anxiety with a bit of depression as a result of the anxiety. I've tried every concievable med for anxiety - all SSRI's, SNRI's, Remeron, Wellbutrin, Serzone, tri-cyclics, benzos, anti-convulsants, you name it.
...Hi again,
I also suffered from severe social anxiety to go along with my major atypical depression. I believe your research is correct; Nardil is simply the best medication for this disorder. Be careful though, when I first took Nardil, ten years ago, it caused some hypomania that I just interpreted as feeling better. Not everyone will get this side effect, but it can happen. I ended up making some not too sound financial decisions, that set me back for several years.I augment Nardil with 1mg of clonazepam daily. This is also a very good med for the social anxiety. I believe, like Nardil, the effect on GABA is the reason. In higher doses of 3 or 4mg, clonazepam can be very effective on social anxiety, stand alone.
Wishing you the best.
JediPS Please do not take anything that has 200mg of tyramine. We are talking the long dirt nap here!
