If you notice, since the use of MAOIs has been out of favor for at least the last 15 years, it is hard to find any current information concerning their use. There are quite a few people here who have enough experience with them to paint you a rather complete picture.

Scott:What do you do about the conflict of MAOIs with so many common OTC meds like cold meds and the like. Also, what if you needed emergency surgery, what would they do about the anesthesia?
