I've never been on an maoi, except moclobemide which was aweful. I can only offer observations that I have seen here over the years, at remedyfind.com, and at pubmed.com.
The maois seem to be like anything else...50% to 60% response. Side effects for some people are nill, while for other people they are viscious. The drugs are miracles for some people, not helpful to some people, and cause worsening for some people.
Unfortunatley I think personal trial and error is the only way to tell. When maois do work real good for some people, they seem to not mind side effects or diet restrictions. Those things seem more bothersome when the drug isn't working very well.
