I tried Parnate again a couple years ago and it had almost no effect whatsoever. I'd be willing to give Nardil a try, but my current doctor is not willing to prescribe it. Maybe when Emsam comes out, he'll consider that, though I've seen little evidence of selegiline being effective to treat social phobia.
