>Nardil has lost alot of its effectiveness

What dose do you take? Assuming that you're not already on the maximum recommended dose of 90mg per day, would you be able to increase?

>lofepramine

Are you in the UK? Lofepramine is only marketed in a few countries, including the UK.

In terms to trying a different tricyclic, clomipramine (Anafranil) is one of the most effective - both for depression and for anxiety.

>any suggestions

Have you tried bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban)? Bupropion is very widely used in the US for depression. In the UK, it is only approved for smoking cessation. Nevertheless, your doctor may be willing to consider it at this stage. It is not proven to help with social anxiety, however. In some cases, it can cause people to feel agitated. Still, it causes fewer adverse effects than many antidepressants. You would have to come off Nardil if you want to try it.
