Exactly what anxiety issues do you have? Nardil is usually 1st choice for social anxiety, yet some actually find Parnate effective for that too.
I take Marplan. 1st time I tried it I found it too activating (was on nothing else) so went strait back to nardil after couple of weeks. This time round I'm on 3mg Klonopin with Marplan & its very similar to Nardil & very helpfull. I dont know if Marplan raises GABA like Nardil does but if anyone knows then PLEASE PROVIDE SOME CONCRETE EVIDENCE! :)

If you're NOT already on a benzo & have any type of anxiety then Nardil should be you're first choice I think. Marplan does have less side effects though & they're easier to manage. Marplan feels to me like simple MAOI - nothing else. Nardil & Parnate do other things besides MAO inhibition.
