Nardil is an interesting choice. However,
Benzodiazepines are not generally addictive in the true sense of the word. Yes, there is a withdrawal syndrome to contend with if one is to discontinue them. However, one must be psychologically or physiologically craving the substance for addiction to take place. Even Nardil is not without a withdrawal syndrome if not tapered gradually enough. The doctor already seems amenable to prescribing BZDs.
Nardil might work, though. One can combine it with a BZD if necessary. Klonopin goes well with it.
Just another alternative.
