This is not necessarily true. Some older studies found Parnate comparable to Nardil in treating social anxiety/phobia.I try not to exclude drugs from consideration just because I can think up some homespun theory as to why it might not work. Generally speaking, God is smarter than I am. It is sometimes better to practice clinical psychopharmacology from an empirical approach. The scientific method still works, even in the absence of a complete understanding of the mechanics involved.
Don't forget about Marplan. It is a chemical relative of Nardil, but usually milder with respect to side effects.
