I've had lots of trouble getting what I need from UK docs. Try mentioning Parnate to a UK pdoc and then wait to be laughed at!
It seems especially hard for Social Phobics who have limited choice already. Yet for some reason Seroxat or Moclobemide are 'highly' recommended for it. Uh, why?
I was very lucky to get on an MAOI but it was no UK doc who put me on it. This pdoc was from Australia doing a study on Social Anxiety here. Very good Doctor, admitted Nardil was "Gold Standard". I'll be forever gratefull. In case anyone out there's interested:

Best things about Britain? Devon/Cornwall and the weather (LOL) - but certainly not the health system.
