hi mickapoo,
How do you respond to benzo's in terms of social anxiety? Do they relax you enough to function without getting overly anxious? See thats what I personally believe is one of the major things going on with nardil...it provides a nice gaba effect that also feels somewhat energetic. So that 90mg dose might hit it better for you. If you are taking benzos now and along with the nardil (im not sure of the accuracy of this theory) it may be possible that the gaba effect from the benzo is making you tolerant to nardil relaxing effect but I dunno...perhaps a pharm-guru (one of many among the ranks here in babble) can make more sense of this idea. Parnate doesnt have that relaxation feel to it from what I understand...it works differently. perhaps better for you though

> > Personally i would see if you can try the higher dose first. I have social phobia and nardil was the best but i switched to parnate because of side effects (switched without a washout period) but the parnate didn't help the social phobia at all. Problem now is that i've tried nardil again a couple times and it no longer works.
