I haven't tried a MAOI, but everything I have ever read about extreme anxiety and especially social anxiety is that Nardil is the way to go. It's only avoided by some doctors / countries because they don't understand that it is a safe drug for the majority of people if the dietary restrictions are followed.
As for India ignoring that mental illness exists, my therapist agreed to some degree. She came from India to get her degree here (USA) and then went back to India to do what she could to improve the situation.
jhj, I find that I am relating to the problems you describe and to your life more than I do with most people. I can't quite explain why, except that I had dysthymia, anhedonia, social anxiety and GAD for at least 3 or 4 years and it was almost more than I could handle. And before that my whole life was spent with high anxiety, although not to your extent. Just know that I understand a little about what it's like to have your diagnosis and I sympathize. I have to think that someday you will get some relief. The world still has a long long way to go towards treating mental illness and we are going to see some big changes in treatments in our lifetime.
