> ColleenHi Colleen,
I tried a number of SSRI's, and then Celexa with
Wellbutrin before going to Nardil. I never tried any TCA's. Once I got the diagnosis of atypical depression and heard that MAOI's were the gold standard, I did some research (found Babble along the way) and asked my GP for it.He went ahead and prescribed it, but I don't think he really knew what he was giving me. I do know he trusted that I knew and was prepared for it.
When I started seeing a pdoc, I was afraid that she'd make me go through a bunch of med trials before giving me Nardil, but she kept me on it. I was very lucky to find two docs willing to work with me that well.
Good luck,
gg
