I'm sorry Racer. You put so much into it over the last couple months. You deserve better.

I don't know if failed ensam means failure on all maois. My hunch is they are not comparable. While we tend to view these drugs in a narrow spectrum of how they work on serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, they do a whole lot more than that. They affect a multitude of genes, enzymes, and all kinds of stuff I see in research but I don't understand it all. Regardless if I don't understand it, it is apparent to me that each drug molecule does a lot of different stuff biochemically above and beyond what it does to serotonin. Heck, I often wonder if the therapeutic effects actually come from a conglomerate of all those other things and don't have much to do with serotonin at all.

Anyway, I was curious...why are maois viewed as contraindicated in your case?
