Hi Oliver,

I've been involved with a study for a new MAOI (one that isn't binding so there are fewer food restrictions). I have to be honest, I'm not seeing much of a difference...wondering if I got the placebo (just my luck!)

I've read a lot about MAOI's but the food restrictions scare me...not so much the fact that I can't eat a lot of things that I like but more so, if I'm out to dinner and there's something in the food that I'm not aware of...scary. Who wants to be known as the person who died from the dreaded "cheese death"? ...no me! :)

Before I could start the study I had to ween myself off of Prozac...the though of being without an antidepressant for 4 weeks scared me but actually, I came to realize that Prozac really wasn't working for me. I felt better (less of a foggy feeling, same amount of depression) after I stopped.

I talked to the director (doctor) running the research about what I should take after the study is over...she recommended I look into something called Emsam. Going to do a bit of research on it now...

Good luck to you!

P.
