Thank you for your replies. I should have noted that i don't suffer from depression, though.
Anyway, I have been taking Prozac and i don't think that i does much for my condition so i thought to switch to a MAOI.
I have social phobial, plus other phobias and i am dysthymic. I know that Nardil is the best medicine for me, but it is not available here. I have to decide from either Moclobemide (Aurorix) or Selegiline. Which one is the most effective for phobias?Also which of the 2 is the more stimulating med? I'm taking a benzo with Prozac for my condition and i could use some up-lifting. I suspect that it's Moclobemide, as it's a MAOI-A and it boosts Epinephrine+ NorEpinephrine+ Dopamine, while Selegiline only boosts dopamine.. Am i right on this??
On the other hand, Selegiline is metabolized into L-(meth)amphetamine but... I read that the L isomer is not psychoactive at all.
