> Anyway, I also had difficulity working out and my reaction time seemed much decreased. Driving was scary. My 2c. I had a theory that MAOI's work better for men than women based on what I've read on this board. Obviously, an exception here, but it's seemed to me that the folks that have had the most sucess with MAOIs have, for the most part, been male.

Don't mean to be devil's advocate but MAOIs have always been the only med that helped my long-term, atypical depression (which included a lot of social phobia/agoraphobia). Marplan was the best, but I had to switch to Nardil when Roche stopped manufacturing it. Nardil's almost as good as Marplan as far as effectiveness goes - I'm really productive in the mornings, after my first breakfast-time dose (which is the largest; I take a third one around 5pm). But I've a lot of problems controlling my weight gains with it.

As mentioned before, I'd like to switch back to Marplan so I'll stop ballooning into middle age, but I really can't handle the thought of a total MAOI/Nardil washout.
