In reply to PARNATE --) social phobia, posted by Ben on May 30, 2011, at 12:39:44
Parnate annihilated any social anxiety/social phobia I had. Unfortunately, I had to stop it
because it threw me too much the other way (prosocial/hypomanic) and I required pretty monstrous doses for it to work at all...This is a CLEAR case of YMMV, though; most people respond to much lower doses of Parnate and don't have the problem I described.
Also, the Luvox you take is contraindicated with Parnate or any other MAOI....
Best of luck!

> I am bipolar II and I developed social phobia. What is your experience withe Parnate for social phobia? I am on Luvox, Lithium, Valproate, Abilify, Lamictal and T4 which works for my bipolar disorder but not for the social phobia. I have a terrible tremor and I hope that it will disapear when I get rid of the Valproate. My pdoc says that the combo of Lithium and Valproate is often to worsen a Lithium tremor?!
