I had had many years of total success with MAOI Parnate. When I was unable to obtain it (overseas), I tried Remeron (which pooped out) and SSRI Zoloft which I didn't like for a number of reasons. So I obtained a new supply of Parnate and got my life back. For me, there is no substitute. I suppose I need the triple action that MAOIs provide--enhancement of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine levels, that SSRIs do not provide. Whatever it is, I'd say to you for sure--go for it! (you and your pdoc will have to decide whether to try Nardil or Parnate; they're both MAOIs but are claimed to be very different from each other and suit different people differently.)
