Hi everyone and thanks in advance for listening.

First, I decided I was not in a good board for a response, so I hope this accomplished the effect of moving my post to where I'll likely be visiting most.

I am curious about other experiences with MAOIs. I'm on Emsam Patch 6 mg right now and getting perhaps subtle relief. I am trying to decide about whether to increase the Emsam dose or go back to Nardil, or consider Marplan. I was on Nardil for years, but went off it well before this formula problem I keep reading about. THAT concerns me. After years of no results on SSRIs and almost every other "newer" antidepressant out there, I decided to go back to the tried and true, but sad to hear it's not the same any longer.

For some related info, I have moderate to severe SP, GAD, ADD and depression that I consider a secondary effect to the other conditions. I'm middle-aged and also use Klonapin 5 mg bid, Inderal LA 120 mg (essential tremor & anxiety issues), and Adderall 5 mg bid. BTW, while my doc knows Adderall and MAOIs are technically contraindicated, he believes that in these smaller doses, the benefits may outweigh the risk. Hope he's right about that! I seem to tolerate the combination okay, best I can tell.

Below is the original post in "Newbies."

I am not the most computer literate, but thought I'd at least find the log-on link or page! Okay, I give up. Will one of you kindly take pity on the awkward freshman here and draw me a picture?
