Do you keep a list of all the meds you have taken? I have a table I created that lists all of them with their family indicated (e.g. SSRI), their doses, their level of effectiveness (I use a 1-5 rating), side effects (1-5 rating), and length of time taken. I give it to the pdoc anytime I change to a new one, usually because I have relocated. This is the most useful thing to any new pdoc and helps demonstrate, usually, that there are classes of meds that you haven't tried yet. Maybe it will help your existing pdoc consider MAOIs. If not, try going to a university-based practice where pdocs seem to be more open to a variety of treatments for various reasons.
