Hi Stevie,
Everybody is different, but for me 90mg of phenelzine(Nardil) + 2mg of clonazepam(Klonopin) knocks social anxiety on it's butt. There are a lot of people afraid of benzodiazapines and MAOIs, however, social anxiety is a debilitating illness. It keeps people from reaching their full potential in work and social situations. It puts some people in bed, never to even attempt social interactions.Of course I wish I could do it without medications such as Nardil and clonazepam. They both have side effects that have to be weighed against the benefits. But, for me, these two medications act synergistically to combat my treatment resistant atypical depression and social anxiety. I will start a conversation with a complete stranger. That would not of happened before the medications.
Good Luck,
Jedi
