If not, I plan to give Nardil and or Parnate a try.Good for you! I hope you find that they are as helpful to you as they are to me. MAOI's Rock! My doctor tells me all the time that benzos can agrivate depression-he's right, they are depressants..but they are great for anxiety. Klonopin's an excellent benzo. Take care and best wishes to you.
