Hi... I'm currently looking into trying out an Maoi for my Social Anxiety, OCD and some depression(Social anxiety is prominent). I've read they seem to be pretty successful for Social Anxiety. I've tried a few Ssri's with little success(Actually felt more nervous). I'm curious to see if/how Nardil or Parnate has helped any of you people with SA. Such as, does it make it at all easier to talk to people? Does it help so you don't get embarassed as easily(blush) or get uncomfortable feelings? I have a lot of trouble doing things like getting a job or starting college because of it being hard to talk to people. I was hoping maybe an Maoi and some effort on my part could help motivate me. Another question... do Maois leave you mentally sedated? Because I really don't won't something that will inhibit my concentration/learning abilities or make me tired. I hated Paxil for both those reasons. I also don't want to try Klonopin because it makes you mentally sedated from what I've heard. Thanks for any responses,
Josh
