It is, more the post part standard psychiatric protocol to treat "resistant depression" with Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors" (MAO's) Aside from the "cheese effect" they are some of the most effects AD's available. There is a new one out that does not impart the cheese effect. And as you may know, Reboxetine is purported to greatly attenuate the cheese effect. I noted from your med list you hadn't tried an MAO. I've had two severe major episodes quicked off by chronic pain. The second I responded to nothing and the last step before ECT was Phenelezine (Nardil). It worked. That was 15 years ago. Since then I've done many other things to ameliorate my depression , and for the last ten years have been only on SSRI's which as a Dr. think they suck, especially Zoloft. So considered what I've suggested. Thanx
