In reply to Males with atypical depression- TCA or MAOI??, posted by Jimmyboy on August 20, 2006, at 8:30:23
There are some gender differences when it comes to the responce to antidepressants.
Women tend to respond better to SSRI's, (and MAOIs?) while men respond better to TCA's.
I only know of a few studies which have adressed these ideas, but the theory was that it had to do with the way certain neurotransmitters interacted with hormones.
