I haven't had an issue with trazadone and parnate. But I don't understand your p-doc. You went for a consult. MAOIs were recommended, but he's not okay with that? Why not? He prescribed ensam, right? Above 6mg, ensam is just like any other MAOI, with all the dietary restrictions. But it only works on MAOI-B, while parnate and nardil work on A and B. I hope you find a new p-doc who can help. Older docs and docs associated with first tier teaching hospitals are most likely to be comfortable with MAOIs.

read they were contraindicated. Good to hear that works.
