Nothing is better than one or the other,dont let things fool you,i think the maoi hype here is because the drugs have been ridiculed so long and kept in the dark that now users feel apart of something not alone,but i dont think the users out number ssri numbers,its just at last they have somewhere to say hey,ur on a maoi too,cool,since most pharmisict techs dont even know about them.
As for getting it from a doc,oh yeah it is very hard,unless u have a peon minded doc who will be happy to oblige then it can actualy be impossable.When i first learned of parnate,i had been on every ssri,ssri combo,ssrir twice,three times etc,i then came to docs pleading for something different and was flat out told no a LOT.
I went through possably five doctors before finding one willing to let me try it.
Again are they better,who knows no one does for sure and anyone like people touting there drug is THE BEST and they perhaps are some king or champoin of it and down right saying it IS the best are dangerous,no everyone will respond differently,but failing ssris as u have mentioned you are definatly a candiate for something in a new class of drugs,and people who fail on ssris can find maois to be a life saver,good luck.
