> hi everyone. i am new here. i have had social anxiety for the last 7 years. i have tried zoloft, paxil, effexor, lexapro, neurontin, xanax, klonopin, inderal...and none have worked. i have heard great success stories from people on nardil, but whenever i suggest this to a doctor he refuses to prescribe it to me because it's "dangerous." does anyone know how i can find a doctor that prescribes maoi's? i don't see the use in trying SSRI's over and over if they keep failing.
> Don't worry, they ARE out there! And guess what -- with your history of trying all those different meds and your social anxiety, you are a perfect candidate to try Nardil. I think you should call various psychiatrists until you find one who will prescribe an MAOi for you. That 'dangerous' stuff is crap. Nardil saved my life when nothing else worked, and if there are certain foods I can't eat and drugs I'm not allowed to take, so be it. It is WORTH IT! Where are you posting from? I'm in the SF bay area, CA, if you're around here I might be able to help you find a doc.
