> Do you know if that's true for Parnate as well? I'd never heard that (and I'm well past the 12 week stage), but it would be good information to pass on to those that are just starting it.
Hi Jessica,
Sorry I can't say for sure. I know that Dr. L feels strongly that Nardil is the single most effective med for social phobia. You certainly seem to hear about parnate working for people here and there, though, and with far fewer side-effects. How has your experience been? Is 12 weeks about twice as good as 6 weeks? I wonder if this is generally true for most meds. I wish I could repeat this about drugs other than Nardil, but I haven't heard anyone I respect say this. It certainly seems likely to be the case, though. I think the best piece of advice/encouragement here is that ADs in general take far longer than most of us here seem to give them.
Hang in there,
Jon
