> yeah..i have social phobia (pretty bad)..I've wanted to try MAOIs, but I'm young (21) and have mood swings, so docs seem reluctant to go for it. For some reason, APs seem big now--I guess to replace benzos--but its lame...APs blunt my personality, and I refuse to accept their risks (apparently, there's some evidence the new ones cause movement disorders pretty often, just like the old ones).

Hey, if you do try an MAOI, I think you'll be pleasently surprized at how easy the diet is to follow. And I'm not positive but I think w/ EMSAM there is no dietary restrictions-I may be wrong though. Hey, good luck and I wish you the very best.Tyler
