Here is a link to something I found http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic318.htm
Basically it says that in the US in 1999, a total of 372 MAOI exposures were reported. Previously there had been 451 in 1996 and 618 in 1990.
Of those 372 exposures in 1999, 215 of the toxic exposures were unintentional and 102 were intentional. And a total of 21 patients were reported to have major adverse outcomes. No fatalities were noted.
The question I ask is approximately how many people were taking MAOIs in the US?
Does anyone else here have any rough idea?
Is there any other data like the page I found?
