In reply to Parnate vs Moclobemide in terms of Social phobia, posted by Ingo on January 29, 2000, at 15:50:47
Ingo,
I've seen a number of accounts of people who get very tired while on Parnate: this may have something to do with its effect on sleep quality or perhaps just with the MAO inhibition. In any event, moclobemide may be worth trying if you have access to it: it's certainly an easier med to take, although it's probably not as effective as MAOIs for some people with social phobia. Have you considered/tried Nardil or Marplan, the other MAOIs? Likewise, have you done a trial of an SSRI like Paxil or Prozac? As you probably know, one minor problem is that switching to any of these from Parnate would probably require a wash-out period of at least two weeks to be safe.
