Impossible to ever get off MAOIs?

Posted by tygereyes on April 5, 2006, at 10:39:10

Now that I've been on Parnate, life is not the same without it.

I've tried to stop taking this medication at least three times in the past two month, and every time I try to stop it, I start it right back up again.

No one tells you that MAOI withdrawal and its after-effects are worse than SSRI withdrawal. No one tells you that you will no longer be able to distinguish between your baseline, the alleviation of depressive symptoms, and the "high" that the drug causes. No one tells you about the impulses you will have to self-medicate, to push the dose as high as it can go, to feel better than you can ever imagine having felt on an antidepressant, of all things.

I mean, we're not talking illegal drugs here! We're talking about PARNATE! Why can't I just stop taking this medication and stay off of it???
