> What was so wrong with isocarboxazid, that people abandoned it for the more volatile (IMHO) phenelzine and tranylcypromine? Its back on the market now, and I wonder how it does popularity-wise.

MARPLAN was considered the "weakest" of the three other major MAOIs. Roche discontinued it when sales dropped (typical!). The drug is available generically. I took it 20 or so years ago: did nothing.
MARPLAN also happens to be one of the character names of some alien in an old Star Trek episode.
What? No infringement litigation against Captain Kirk? I'm shocked! Someone call Johnny Cochran, quickly!
