Wow. I understand some of what you're going through, the complicated mess, the contradictory desire for both stimulants and anxiety and depression relief, and how treating one makes another worse. Also job problems. I am currently on disability, as I wasn't able to keep up at work.
I was thinking Strattera/atomoxetine instead of a real stim. for your ADHD may allow you to get Nardil, but I looked up info. about Strattera, and it said it shouldn't be mixed w/ MAOIs.
A next thought I have that would allow you to keep the stim. is Luvox/fluvoxemine. It's not that strong as an antidepressant, but is approved for anxiety conditions like OCD, and may be your best best after Nardil for social anxiety (keeping in mind that I don't think there's any med. to really strongly kick social anxiety, nor OCD, for that matter, just that Luvox might be the most likely to help out of what's available).
