I don't have generalized anxiety, but if I'm feeling stressed about work or money, etc... it does help calm me down. But in terms of my social phobia, it does nothing.

I have not tried nardil i was hoping parnate would help because i think an important issue is my untreated ADHDi. Im interested in how it compares for you.
as far as generally, I think it would share most of nardils benefits, though there is some difference in monoamine changes, and gaba, so if there isn't a ADHD related issue, i would not expect parnate to have additional benefit vs. nardil, at least generally. hope it works for you.
