For social phobia/depression/OCD-like symptoms.
My first thought is Marplan. I tried it before, on its own, but found it lacked the desired anxiolytic effect I'm after. But this time I'll be armed with clonazepam. Still, theres very little info on it helping Social phobia. Or any other anxiety disorders for that matter. It DID lift my mood significantly.
Or theres Parnate which seems to be the second MAOI in line for SP (after Nardil). But from what I've read of peoples accounts Parnate sounds like a very rocky ride. Some say its stimulating, some say it knocks them out & some say it dose both!
I'm not sure if either of them are helpfull for OCD.
Coming off MAOIs is hard enough (for me) not to mention the agonising wait during washout periods.
Any experiences, comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
