Nardil and Klonopin can also be combined to excellent effect. for Social Phobia.
Many people who do not want to take Nardil at a high dose can take it a lower dose (ie; 45-60mg) with a side effect profile usually superior to similar doses of Paxil, Zoloft, or Celexa.
Nardil 45-60 will produce a good antidepressant effect and will work synergistically with Klonopin for anti-SP effect.
Reboxetine, in a new double blind study for panic disorder, produced dramatic results in efficacy. Social function was also improved. Reboxetine has shown improved social function, motivation, and drive in a number of studies.
I have not trialed Reboxetine. I did sample 1mg added to 60 Nardil + 2.75 Klonopin. Acutely my subjective sense was good. Just as described, it was energizing without noticable anxiety or even any euphoria as I've experienced on initiation or increasing doses of Provigil.
It may be that Reboxetine will work well for some Social Phobics when added to an SSRI or MAOI.
To early to say if combining an MAOI and Reboxetine is safe, but according to one study with rats adding Reboxetine to Parnate was both efficatious and elimated tyramine toxicity to produce hypertensive symptoms with Parnate.
Reboxetine is awaiting approval in the US. It may be that there the long delay is due to possible release of a different type of antidpressant with a behavior effect profile similar to Reboxetine.
Social Phobia is Very Treatable with limited or no side effects.
