Amineptine is a prodopaminergic agent not available in the US. The only other dopaminergic med I've tried besides Parnate was Wellbutrin, which did also increase my assertiveness, but it was not nearly as effective for my brand of social phobia as the tricyclics and MAOIs. The actions on norepinephrine by these drugs seem to knock out my panic-like symptoms. I found the SSRIs to only be marginally effective in my case, but the prevailing thought is that they are good for social disorders involving anxiety.
