Thanks for the input. Very interesting stuff to think about.
I have tried Parnate but it did not help. I was hesitant to try Nardil due to it's weight gain potential. (I was told that Parnate was more weight neutral than Nardil, although I thought my cravings for sweets increased).
I am fairly active (when I'm not in a meltown) and the Parnate made me really dizzy at the gym, getting up and down on the machines. It also gave me extreme insomnia but I would fall asleep in my office around 4pm. I was cold all the time. My reaction time was slowed, and oh yeah, it didn't help my depression!
I tried Buspar, and again, seem more fatigued by it. I thing there are some newer MAOIs but I'm really spooked to try them considering my history and the period of time needed for washout, combination warnings, etc.
