In reply to switching from SSRIs to MAOIs or Trycyclics - HELP, posted by Christina on February 12, 2001, at 19:19:22
Christina. I have always had more success with an MAOI than with any other kind of antidepressant, and much fewer side effects. People shy away from MAOIs because of the dietary restrictions, but slowly I added different things on the "no" list to my diet and I've never had a bad reaction. I'm not saying don't try the tricylics, but don't eliminate
the possiblility of nardil or parnate--I've seen lots of people have success with those who haven't had success with any other antidepressant.Another suggestion would be to add lamictal to your SSRI. Lamictal is the favorite mood stablizer of my pdoc, plus two other pdocs I interviewed. Shellie
