> I would say that going on an MAOI should be attempted only after the failure of Effexor, Remeron, Serzone, Wellbutrin, and a few tricyclics: http://www.vh.org/Providers/Conferences/CPS/19.html
In cases of atypical depression, I disagree. It has been well established that tricyclics (at least) do not work as well as MAOIs in atypical depression; tricyclics are, however, at least as toxic as MAOIs (sometimes depending on individual patient characteristics).
Also, I know I'm not the only one who finds MAOIs easier to tolerate than tricyclics.
