Ritch,

MAOIs are supposedly the ADs least likely to induce mania (save for Wellbutrin, maybe). Is your doctor MAOI-phobic, or is he worried about a [hypo]manic switch? Have you had similar problems before with antidepressants? Also, are you sure that your work screens for amphetamine? I didn't think this was a standard test (because many things can cause false positives)...
