Right, Nardil and the benzos also work on GABA, which is obviously another neurotransmitter that is involved with anxiety. This could have been one of the reasons I felt so sociable on Nardil. I find the dopaminergic effects of Parnate more useful in my particular situation but suspect many people might have more luck with Nardil, given how heavily benzos are used by members of this group (alcohol also has a detrimental effect on my own social phobia, the opposite of what most people's experience seems to be).Todd
