thanks atypical. yeah my pdoc knows my meds history. i saw him today and he's having me increase my dose of moclobemide, and in a month i'll see him again. he said the next step could be "an actual maoi," but that moclobemide was the same thing anyways. even though its having no positive effect on me and might be making me feel more depressed, and i told him that. it seems like everything i say he just writes off immediately.
and every time i see him he harps on exposure therapy. i work full time, i graduated university, and have generally been interacting with people my whole adult life, so my daily life is exposure therapy! the fear and cognitive impairment from genetic(?) SP never decreases! it just seems to get worse the longer i go on living with a damaged brain. so it's a pretty flippant recommendation. its depressing and demoralizing to be disregarded by the professional who is supposed to help you.
but i guess its promising that he may prescribe nardil, so we'll see.
