> > I think the MAOI Parnate would work well for my condition & I would have no trouble following the no tyramine diet but if the SSRIs & Effexor give me insomnia would Parnate cause insomnia/nervousness also? (I've read very few people can tolerate Nardil & that Nardil requires high doses to be effective so I wouldn't consider Nardil as an option.)
I feel your pain brother ..... I had a similar thought. My depression, panic and social anxiety has really only responded to nardil .... but then light bulb flash/idea .... how about a sedating tricyclic? So I tapered off nardil ..... sunk into my current deep depression .... and started elavil. No luck.
I do know my aunt had bad depression and insomnia and doxepin is working wonders for her.
I definately recommend Mr. Kreg Park's Web site www.socialfear.com. It has great information on the best treatment for s.p.
Keep us updated.
