> Nardil is one of the best treatments for avoidant personality disorder/severe social phobia. Whether or not Nardil is a safe medication depends strongly on whether you (and your doctor) are knowledgeable about MAOIs. With MAOIs, knowledge is power. You need to learn in detail about the dietary restrictions and drug interactions. In the right hands, MAOIs can be remarkably safe.

> EdI have avoidant personality disorder.It was thought to be bipolar but the depression is more caused by the way I live life,and the ups are myself trying to save myself from the depression.I am against all SSRIs and anti psychotics,but am interested in other treatments.MAOIs seem OK.Im curious did these drugs actually help you get out there and live more of a life?Did they help you connect more with people,relax more?Also were you on MAOIs alone or mixed?also did they work for long? Sorry about all the questions.
