Maois are some of the most effective meds. Historically I believe it was those and the first antipsychotics that caused the huge de-institution-move.... allowed an awful lot of people to get out of hospitals.

So they can be extremely effective for all kinds of depression. They are much less used these days just because so many newer drugs with no food restrictions are available. But if you've tried those and are still depressed/anxious, not eating cheese etc isn't a huge deal if something will allow you to feel better.

If ssris and the norepinephrine drugs like effexor and wellbutrin didn't help, by all means don't let food interactions stop you from thinking of an maoi.
