I know what you mean. I think I started witht the melancholic type and ended up with the atypical type.I bet most people have features of both. And it is trial and error finding the med that works the best. Prozac and paxil both used to work well for me, the first two types I took and then that type stopped working for me.
Another thing about the difference between the two types of drugs is that the reuptake inhibitors work by preventing the releasing neuron to reabsorb transmittors from synapse. MAOI's work by not allowing the enzyme oxidase to remove the transmittors. So one acts on an enzyme and one acts on a nerve terminal. I think. Or "they " think. I don't know if the scientific community is even sure how they work exactly. I know I am not sure. But it is something like that and that may have make a difference in how they effect different people differently.Donna
