> I'm disappointed with the amount of anxiety I'm having. Zoloft 5 weeks, busbar 10 days, wellbutrin resumed after 2week holliday due to poopout. clonipin and temazapam prn. I am feeling better so took one day off benzo's, didn't work out. I don't have the knowedge that you all pocess and I don't always understand the infomation. What's the deal with MAOI or MAO-B. there was something that I didn't understand in a post. The root of my problem is ADHD in old days it was called minimal brain damage common in premature babys. middle aged now and catching up developmentaly, but the anxiety is crippleing me. would an MAOI be a good choice for anxiety? stimulants, SSRI's and wellbutrin are what I've been on, but wellbutrin and high dose stimulants by far out performed all the rest. BIG EVENT coming in september that I have to man, figuratively man up, through in a bit of the menopause too.
I've never tried MAOIs although I am trying to persuade my doctor to prescribe them. Like you I have been through a lot of drugs but none have really helped my anxiety and depression that much. I've tried all the SSRIS, and SNRIs, some TCAs, atypical / typical antipsychotics, anticonvulsants and various anxiolytics. At the moment I'm on Effexor, lithium and klonopin. The klonopin does seem to be helping a little.For anxiety and neurotic depression, Nardil seems to be the gold standard and a very effective drug. Nardil is a MAOI-A drug and along with it's sibling drugs like Parnate seem to be far more effective than the MAOI-B drugs such as moclobemide.
If you are starting to run out of options I'd consider Nardil but just remember it's dietary restrictions and potental side effects.
