Manerix usually isn't as effective as Parnate or Nardil. Not just for me, but for a lot of people.
I think Manerix might shoot your anxiety level through the roof as it's very stimulating. But like you said, everyone responds differently to meds.
I wonder if you aren't bipolar. Klonopin is the only benzo that can be used as a mood stabiliser. Have you ever tried Lithium or Depakote for your depression. Your anxiety MAY BE hypomania or mania. Just a thought. :)

> After reading Maxime's post, it got me to thinking...the one class of drug I've never tried to combat my hardcore social anxiety and moderate depression. I've always been leary of these drugs because of the diet regime and how careful you have to be.
> My question is why would one start out trying drugs like Parnate and Nardil with all the complex dietary restrictions when you can take something like Maxime mentioned (Manerix, or something of the like). My first guess is that they are not as effective? Sort of a second option if you can't take the big ones i.e. nardil, parnate.....?
