No worries here, folks. Follow this regiment if your MAOI stops being as effective as it once was.
1. Most common and almost always works: INCREASE your dosage of your MAOI under your doctor's supervision.
2. Take MAOI with another drug. SLS and several others have found great success in mixing the MAOI with TCAs. Dr. Gillman says "The irony is that mixing a TCA (one which is not also an SRI) with an MAOI makes it safer!" Click here for more info:

Don't FEAR trying a MAOI. Fear NOT trying a MAOI.
