I was lucky. I took part in a couple of studies at the Psychopharmacology Dept,BRI in Bristol. Prof Nutt was leading the team there at the time, and seeing as I'd tried all the SSRIs I was 'recommended' phenelzine (Nardil). Worked a treat for 2yrs or so. At some point I was switched to Isocarboxazid (Marplan). 1st time I didn't like it. So went back to Nardil. Then I gave Marplan a second go with different addons and along with clonazepam my social anxiety was sorted. Just needed more of a mood boost, which I now have with my other meds.
And its worth mentioning that, from my experience most Psychiatrists & Psychopharmacologists tend to use the generic names when they're talking meds. Hence instead of Marplan they will call it isocarboxazid which is the actual name of the drug. Marplan is just a brand name and here in the UK they dont make 'Marplan' any more. Its turned generic. So you could have missed other meds your doc mentions simply coz you're unfamiliar with the generic names.
It was indeed hard to get hold of at one point which was very scarey. But the production seems fine again now.
One last thing to remember
