> Nardil (phenelzine) is considered the single most effective, non-addicting drug for Social Anxiety. It works by elevating levels of Serotonin, Dopamine, Norepinephrine and GABA. I think that combining a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (escitalopram) with a Norepinephrine-Dopamine reuptake inhibitor (Bupropion) and a GABA reuptake inhibitor (tiagabine) might be a modern and safe Nardil-substitute. What do you think?
Hi,
I've been through 45+ different combinations, including mixing bupropion with Nardil-though contraindicated. For my atypical depression and social anxiety there was nothing like Nardil. Amazing that a 50 year old medication can work so well for some people. Just shows you how little we have learned about the complex biological computer called the human brain.
