> There is an old saying, "you play with the bull, you get the horn". If you are going to take a MAOI, or any medication for that matter, please take the time to do some extensive research. I would advise anyone taking a MAOI to wear a medic alert bracelet. They are called the "big guns" for a reason, so if they work for you, at least play by their rules.
I did,in fact i even called glaxco and was passed on to a "tech" who did nothing more then read me what the data sheet reads.
Ive studied the med intensly the entire five years i was on it,i even have articles on the sole chemicst who designed it and then sold it to glaxco,which is why glaxco knows so little since i was not orignated by them.
i have in file tons of pharmoclogy articles on the drug,tons of user experiances going back five years,i know of all the different brands such as gold shields in the uk.
I know when it was reformulated and so on.
I took it cause i had failed on ssris two times around,and parnate is my only option as a primary anti depressant,so when it failed i had no choice to use strategys to potentiate it.
No i could not turn to docs because most docs will take u off in a heartbeat and very few will work on augmenting a maoi.
Also to believe that docs themselves never prescribe what sometimes end up to be bad combos to patients making them ill would be wrong.
I dont appreciate you play with the bull comment,while i dont seek any form of sympahty or compassion here,i am here to discuss meds,i do also however expect not to have hurtful comments aimed at serious stiations that i have endured and posted in the open to benifit people.

I dont play with maois,and if you read any post of mine you would know i always state to respect maois,also to refer to a dramtic experiance in my life with something like you get the horn i find to be a cold comment.
If you are going to take a MAOI, or any medication for that matter, please take the time to do some extensive research.
I dont appreciate you implying i havent,as i stated i have done extensive research on my med and many others,to assume that i would or have not done extenisve research is a poor statment.

Wearing a braclet is absurd,its not a patients fault that they have to literaly fight off hospital staff due to lack of knowledge,they are the proffesonals.I will say carrying some form of id that you are on one is a good idea.It might seem trival to be upset by this post,but when someone posts the comment about the bull,its kinda the same as saying well you pushed and you got what u had comming by doing so.
I did not post my dramtic experiance to hear comments such as that,im aware of what i did,and it was a mistake,and i post it so others dont,not to be insulted,and even after that i still never had any intentions on leaving the med.
I found your post to be in a way informing me on maoi saftey,this insults me because i have extensive knowledge on them,i only post here to them cause its what i know,if im wrong in how i took your post then i apologize but its how it made me feel,but please dont let the fact i made a mistake lead you to believe i dont respect maois or spent hours upon hours learning them
