> > I've been taking Nardil off an on for several years. Most of you sound like you take for depression, but it also works very well for social anxiety. I have the same problem with weight gain. I'm thinking about trying this new drug Celexa or maybe Remeron. I can't imagine any drug causes as much weight gain as Nardil. I only wish something else worked as well on my social anxiety.

--Thanks for the response, Elizabeth. I'll look into Marplan. I tried Parnate one time, but it seemed to make me more anxious. Sometimes I use the herb Kava Kava for anxiety - it works almost as well as the benzodiazapines, like Klonipan, but it doesn't make you spacey for forgetful. Ginseng is good for energy.
