Can you tell me what sort of relief from anxiety you get from a MAOI is a little or is doing a really good job ( In regards to you)

THe Pdoc is suggesting an MAOI which is making me a bit nervous because any tricyclic (plus effexor) that which plays around with my neropinephrine (NE) levels plays havoc with me. Im just a bit concerned that an MAOI would just increase my NE levels and then stress me out even more. My blood test already shows elevated NE levels

> It's coincidental that several posts have appeared in the last few days inquiring about the MAOI meds' suitability for anxiety. As a Parnate user, I've been telling them,absolutely, go for it. But if you're concerned about elevated norepinephrine levels, I think you might have to scotch this idea, since the MAOIs increase levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Perhaps Nardil would work for you, but I don't know how it rates compared to Parnate regarding norepinephrine. The Nardil experts would know that.
