> So nardil is better than EMSAM? Love Phillipa
The reaserchers comments would suggest that Nardil is the go to med for social anxiety disorters as far as MAOI's go. That said, many do find relief for anxiety from Parnate vs Nardil, but Nardil has long been known to be very effective for SAD for those that can tolerate it.
I suspect EMSAM will best be an option for treating Major Depression as a primary disorter and those with Anxiety Disorters who get relief from a benzo, but need another med to blend with it to tackle the mild depression, low energy and mental clarity that comes with the use of a benzo. How much it will help with SAD is yet to be determined.
