> But it came very close to maois not even being a option today.And that would have been a very sad event for many of us with atypical depression and social anxiety. The MAOIs, specifically phenelzine(Nardil) plus clonazepam is the only combination that has ever worked for me. I have been on 45+ different combinations of antidepressants. The MAOIs are unique and can work miracles for many treatment resistant patients.
I once had a PDOC that absolutely refused to put me back on Nardil, even though it was the only medication that had ever worked for me. Took 9 months, in my depleted state, to find another MD willing to prescribe the medication that saved my life.
I resent that PDOC to this day. He should not of been allowed to practice. He was incompetent and uncaring. And he almost killed me.
Just another opinion,
