> Thanks so much for your really helpful perspectives. Perhaps the MAOI need not be quite so ominous after all. After having tried so many other medications, the thought of one with seemingly (though perhaps not inevitably) unpredictable and severe interactions is a bit scary.
I found them to be predictable and, for the most part, treatable.
> P.S. By the way, Elizabeth, since you said you used to be in Boston - might you possibly know of a psychiatrist who is psychopharmacologically astute, as well as smart, compassionate and open (a very very tall order, admittedly!), from which I might get an additional perspective, or even begin to see. My therapy appears to be a bit stagnant, I'm afraid!
I hesitate to make recommendations. There is someone who comes to mind, a guy who I saw briefly for "medication management." Fairly young, easy-going, has a good knowledge of recent developments in psychopharmacology, open-minded about trying new things, generally reasonable.
What do you mean by stagnant? Can you say anything about what you're finding unsatisfactory about your current situation?
