> Is there some reason not to "augment" Parnate with therapy for social anxiety???
Chemical wise it is lacking a increase of a known calming chemical,actualy i believe i seen it said parnate can cause a decrease in this calming chemical which is of course gaba.
I look at it in terms of a smoker in midst of quiting,there are chemical stages happening,real withdrawal so that is one factor you need to at least consider.
Then the value of therapy,i believe that falls on the individual,we all know how testy debates can get as to the value of talk therapy,personaly i believe its defintaly worth trying,as far as then finding it useful,well thats a indvidual aspect that varies a great deal.
But if a person does value the various forms of talk therapy,then i wouldent connect it to this specific information but rather as part of just about every medication treatment.
