hey Ramon, a lot of drugs there! Are you taking any other mood stabiliser if you've stopped Lithium? Im not one of the people here who are really smart about drugs. Hopefully someone will read & comment on those.
I was on Parnate for some time. It was very activating for me, I am quite social phobic too & it made me quite outgoing. I know Ace & some others swear by Nardil for depression & major anxiety problems so that may be a good one to try.
I really think that if you are going to try a MAOI like Nardil or Parnate you really need to talk to a pdoc about the other meds you are taking. Fatal interactions can occur!Are you going to see this pdoc who isnt near? If its going to be a long time before you see him it might be a good idea to at least continue consulting with the pdoc who diagnosed you BPII. That way you can keep yourself safe until you get an alternative set up. If you are not feeling strong at the moment it is good to have support from a professional even if you dont agree with them on everything at least they are there to help while you find someone you prefer & advise on drug interactions.
take good care of yourself Ramon & let us know how it goes
