How to Nuke Social Anxiety with MAOIs: A Practical Guide

[angst]

If you’re looking for a serious solution to social anxiety, MAOIs (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors) might be the game-changer. While not as commonly prescribed as SSRIs or SNRIs, they’re incredibly effective for severe social anxiety or situations where other treatments have failed. This guide will break down how they work, how to get them, and how to use them safely (so you midwits don't overdose).

What Are MAOIs and Why Do They Work?
​

MAOIs increase your levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine—key neurotransmitters that regulate mood, confidence, and stress. Unlike some medications that just take the edge off, MAOIs can make you feel genuinely more comfortable in social settings.

They’re especially effective for:

• Severe or treatment-resistant social anxiety.
• Situations where physical symptoms (like sweating, shaking, or heart palpitations) dominate.

Top MAOIs for Social Anxiety
​

Here are the most effective options:

1. Phenelzine (Nardil)
   • Best for people with both social anxiety and depression.
   • Known for its calming effects and ability to boost confidence.
2. Tranylcypromine (Parnate)
   • Ideal if your anxiety comes with low energy.
   • Provides a stimulant-like boost in addition to reducing anxiety.
3. Selegiline (Emsam)
   • Comes as a patch, which avoids many of the dietary restrictions associated with MAOIs.
   • Great for those who want a lower-maintenance option.

How to Get the Meds
​

1. Talk to a Psychiatrist (The Cuck Route)​

• Explain your social anxiety and your history with other treatments. Mention that you’ve tried SSRIs or beta-blockers and that they weren’t effective.
• Be informed: Doctors are hesitant to prescribe MAOIs because of their dietary restrictions and interactions. Knowing the basics can make you seem like a good candidate.

2. Alternative Route (Low Inhib)​

• In some countries, MAOIs like Selegiline are available online through research chemical suppliers. Make sure to vet the source carefully.
• Forums and communities (e.g., Longecity) can point you toward reliable vendors.

Important: Self-sourcing medications is somewhat risky, use your brain.

How to Use MAOIs Safely
​

Dosages:

• Phenelzine (Nardil): Start at 15mg/day and slowly increase to 45-90mg/day based on your body's response.
• Tranylcypromine (Parnate): Start at 10mg/day, increasing to 20-30mg/day as needed.
• Selegiline (Emsam): Begin with a 6mg patch, then move to 9mg or 12mg if necessary.

Guidelines:

1. Dietary Restrictions: Avoid high-tyramine foods like aged cheese, cured meats, and fermented products. These can cause a dangerous spike in blood pressure (hypertensive crisis).
2. Avoid Drug Interactions: Don’t combine MAOIs with SSRIs, SNRIs, or stimulants. Also, skip OTC cold meds containing pseudoephedrine.
3. Start Low and Go Slow: Gradually increase your dose to avoid side effects.

Benefits vs. Risks​

Benefits:

• More effective for social anxiety than most other medications.
• Increases confidence and reduces physical symptoms of anxiety.
• Some, like Parnate, provide an energy boost that helps with social interactions.
• Overall, you'll no longer act like a cuck.

Risks:

• Hypertensive Crisis: A serious risk if you eat the wrong foods or take certain medications, as mentioned earlier.
• Side Effects: Low blood pressure, dizziness, insomnia, or weight gain.

(the dietary restrictions might require some discipline, so if you are a willpowercel beware of this.)

What I Took and How I Dosed It
​

I started with Phenelzine (Nardil), the gold standard for anxiety, under the guidance of a psychiatrist. Here’s how it went:

1. Starting Dose: 15mg/day
   At this level, I didn’t notice much except for some mild nausea. It wasn’t until I upped it to 30mg/day that I started feeling a difference.
2. Optimal Dose: 45mg/day
   This is where the magic happened. Within two weeks, I felt a mental shift—it was like someone hit the mute button on my self-cuckery. Conversations that used to terrify me suddenly felt easy, even enjoyable.
3. Final Dose: 60mg/day
   I only went this high for a few weeks during particularly stressful times (e.g., giving a presentation in front of 50+ people). It was like my brain had a social armor. I felt invincible in situations that used to make me freeze like a loser.

After about a month at my optimal dose, the effects were undeniable. I could speak without overthinking every word. Approaching strangers, joining groups of foids, or even standing up for myself became easy. The anxiety that used to weigh me down was gone. Instead of obsessing over what whores thought of me, I could focus on actually enjoying the uni parties.

Conclusion​

MAOIs have been a total game-changer for me, taking me from overthinker aspie to feeling confident and low inhib like never before. If you’re tired of cope supplements that barely do anything this is the real deal—but you’ve got to commit to the process and follow the rules (yeah, no more pizza with aged cheese you fat fuck). I’ll be recording a vlog soon to show exactly what I’m taking, how I’m dosing it, and the results I’ve had so far. I’ll post it here, let me know if you have any questions.
