> When he was on the SSRI's, yes he did use more than one drug at a time. He has been seeing this current psychiatrist for the last couple of years. I'm not sure if she'd consider prescribing another med for him while he's on the MAOI, but it's worth checking into.

I was not sugesting adding a drug to MAOI, just asking if a coktail
was tried, as this would be a next step, if not.
If all he has tried is the SSRI's, even in combination, this indicates
another class should be tried. I;m thinking TCA's, Wellbrutin, Remeron or Effexor.
Also, in general, if several meds don't work this begs the question
as to the Dx. Is the right condition being treated.The other thing that come to mind is thearpy. has this been tried ?
Do not expect a pdoc to do this, they are medical docs. When meds do not
work sometimes this indicates psychological issues
need to be addressed.james
