> What a maroon. EVERYTHING I've read about Nardil says that syncope is a known problem -- that it's even a fairly common problem. The rash? I don't know anything about that...

I don't think you should take them in and hand them to him -- for a variety of reasons -- but mailing them so he has a chance to read them at his leisure.That's actually a great idea, Racer. Thanks! I hope this won't put me at odds with him.
But I wonder if he will believe those websites. Last time I asked him if I could take Chromium as a supplement (because I had read it could help atypical depression,) he was a little sarcastic and said I shouldn't believe everything I read online. He said "did you read a double-blind study on that?" I said "YES, I did." He still was skeptical.

> I'm sorry you've found the doctor they had in mind when they came up with that joke about what do you call the guy who graduated last in his class at med school...I've noticed most clinics have these types of doctors. Unfortunately I cannot afford a private doctor, so I have to stick to this kind, and the others were just as bad, except besides being bad, they refused to prescribe Nardil, and everytime I mentioned my meds were not working, they would say: "You must go to therapy for this to work!" I was in therapy, so their comments were meaningless.
Thanks again
