Emsam or Parnate: Which is better for SA?

Posted by Malcolm664 on June 14, 2007, at 20:28:31

I've been on Parnate since the end of April. While it's been very effective in reducing my depression, it hasn't done very much for my social anxiety at all.
In fact, I would say that the SA is as bad as it ever was. So when I see my pdoc this Monday, I'm going to talk to him about augmenting the Parnate with another med. Now I know that I'd have to stop the Parnate before I could start Emsam, but is there any reason to hope that Emsam might be more effective in treating my my social anxiety?
B/C I wouldn't want to lapse into another depression during the time that I'm off Parnate and waiting for the Emsam to kick in?
Or rather, what med (other than another benzo) would be effective in treating SA? I don't think SSRI's have proven to be very effective for me?
Or am I just plum out of options?
