> Are MAOI's used when SSRI'S dont work? Are they effective for depression or OCD or ADD? I just wonder why my doc has never prescribed one to me because She has seen how most SSRI's, SSNRI'S, and etc have not been too helpful..any thoughts?
I've spoke to numerous people on here, and MAOIs seem to be the gold standard for treating depression and anxiety. It's just that many docs won't prescribe them due to there side effects and associated dietary restrictions. I for one wish my doc would prescribe me some Nardil.
Parnate and Nardil seem to be the most well used of the MAOIs. Parnate is more stimulating while Nardil is better for depression which is accompanied by a lot of anxiety.
