Not sure if you have disucssed Manerix/Moclobemide with your doctor. A newer MAOI (actually called a RIMA--reversible inhibitor of monoamine.) NO sexual dysfuntion and LESS chance of tyramine interaction/hypertensive crisis. I've heard lots of good things but we're all different and have equally infinite responses to these crazy meds.
I'm just starting it as I needed to get off Effexor and supposedly the MAOIs are grand things for my diagnosis: Atypical Depression.
A friend got off Parnate as it didn't seem to be doing the trick for him, with or without stimlants for his ADD...ironically he's now back on Effexor after many years.
Strange world, but I just wanted to throw my Manerix suggestion into the ring as it seems to be a much safer and tolerable/pleasant drug.
Good luck,
K.
