Yes, they do use MAOIs for refractory depression over here.
I`ve been on Nardil now for over a year, and it`s done no good at all. It has, however, caused me a lot of weight gain (3 stone). Bit of a bummer, since it hasn`t made an atom of difference to my mood.
A friend of mine has been on it (Nardil) 3 times, and it worked 1st and 2nd time, but not the 3rd.
Anyway, yes MAOIs are used, but not as often as SSRIs and Tricyclics.
Anna.
p.s. has Nardil made a big difference? My mate said that it was brilliant when it did work.
