Hello Friends,
Just wanted to share an excellent site that clarifies some of the misconceptions and fear in using MAOIs. Here in the US, including my Kaiser pdoc, there is this great fear of prescribing MAOIs and if I had not insisted to my pdoc that since I had seemed to have exhausted all of the safer SSRIs, TCAs, SNRI'S, etc. that I wanted to try an MAOI, specifically, Nardil, since Ace stated that Nardil Rules!, my pdoc would probably not have recommended it. Four days after I had been taking 15mg Nardil daily, I felt my depression starting to lift but had insominia as a SE. When I had asked my pdoc through his nurse that I wanted to try Trazodone to relieve my insomnia, they practically freaked out and told me to do more research and this site is the result of my research. I will be faxing my pdoc this info and I have already requested a change in pdocs. In the mean time I am taking generic benadryl which seems to help my insomnia. It has now been 10 days and my depression is decreasing each day.
Here is the site http://www.currentpsychiatry.com/2002_06/06_02_psy_toc.aspFST
