Scott,
Thanks for responding--it sort of made my otherwise typical day. Waiting for a med is the hardest thing in the world.. I still believe we can both remit...and hopefully an increase of dose and/or time will bring us into full remission.
I know how much you've struggled and wanted to thank you for being such a source of support, knowledge and encouragement. I certainly wouldn't find the kind of support I get here in any face to face support group I've ever attended.
You wouldn't happen to know how platelet MAO inhibition was measured in the clinical trials for the MAOIs would you? I believe one of the abstracts said that Marplan dose was increased until "90% platelet MAO inhibition was achieved."
This Thursday, I meet my new permanent psychiatrist (no more crisis clinic!) I hope she is knowledgable, flexible, and open-minded. If she is MAOI-phobic or benzophobic I will probably hit the yellow pages... Finding a doctor who takes Medicare/Medicaid outside of the county public health system may prove a challenge.
