> Hi Mickapoo,
> Are you taking Nardil just for social phobia with no atypical depression? Not to play down social phobia, it can be debilitating, and is probably under treated, but Nardil is the BOMB. High dosage clonazepam or low dose Nardil augmented with low dose clonazepam may work better for social phobia.
> Just my opinion,
> JediI do have mild depression with what my previous doctor called "major mood disorder", but what is most debilitating to me and has caused me to go on an MAOI is the social phobia. The Nardil has not helped one bit for that. I have tried Clonozepam, that didn't help, made me feel physically less stressed, really relaxed me PHYSICALLY, but it did nothing for my emotional fear. I still could not overcome it.
I just don't know what to do, I'm at my wits end. I'm tired of being afraid all the time, daring not to venture outside my house during the day and running inside or ducking behind my car if a neighbor is outside (it's that ridiculous). I don't know if I should stay on the 75 mg or go down, or what... I don't have insurance, and I can go see my doctor, but have to pay out of pocket Can't afford to see the psych I was seeing, so now can only go to my family doctor, which is who gave me the Nardil after trying practically every other med on the planet.
