Thanks for sharing!> I'm ambivalent about switching -- like anybody, I don't relish the idea of ballooning like I did on Nardil, but at the same time, switching MAOIs is truly painful due to withdrawal symptoms and that pesky waiting period (I thought those were for handguns!).

Best of luck to you!
