I have read about a guy who takes buprenorphine as an off label treatment for his social anxiety/depression in the long run :
Nardil is dangerous and can cause (While on it) permanent insomnia, lack of libido, and a blunted affect. It also tends to poop out after a few months. Lastly, you cant mix about any drug with it and you have to diet.Why not try another drug thats far more effective, improves sleep, and works for SA and depression in patients unresponsive to any treatments including ECT? You dont have to diet on it, and it does not build tolerance much at all.
Its called buprenorphine and it commonly is sold as suboxone and subutex with subutex being the better version.
At .2-1.6 mg doses its been shown to be extremely effective for SA and depression according to several studies including one at harvard. A google search would turn these up easily.
Nothing works better for anxiety and depression than a real opiate ( it doesnt cover the problem up anymore than nardil does).
I have been using this off label for over a year and no longer have any SA whatsoever and ZERO depression. I have zero side effects and make good grades at a university. I have tried almost every psychiatric med out there and none can hold a candle to subutex.If you want to be free of SA bad enough, find a way like i did.
...but as said Philipia I also doupt that my psychiatrist will look with favour to prescribe me it for my suffering from almost all mental illness :(btw, I am from Slovakia and here are doctors more srict prescribing stimulants, opiods and including older MAOIs for any health issue.
