i believe i was damaged by maoi's but my patern was different. I experienced a robust initial response, after which i lapsed into a depression that has tended to be much worse. of coarse the use of lsd, ect during my teen years had already screwed me up some what. if you have not had any kind of traumatic crash i doubt that you have damage anywhere near that magnitude though.
