In reply to Why are you on a MAOI?? How's it working for you??, posted by caha on March 4, 2003, at 22:03:41
> Just wondering. My daughter has been on MANY different AD's - Prozac, Wellbutrin, Elavil, Paxil, Zoloft, etc. Also went with lithium augmentation for a while. She's been on Risperdal and Seroquel. Currently she's on Geodon and Prozac.
>
> While some have worked for a limited amount of time (never longer than 2-3 months) others haven't helped at all and caused huge side effects. The Geodon has helped with psychosis and initially helped with the depression. She's been on meds for almost 3 years and getting very discouraged.
>
> She's not psychotic now thankfully but the depression is devastating again. Lethargy, either insomnia or 13+ hours plus a nap, no ambition, social anxiety, etc.
>
> Just wondering why those of you on a MAOI changed from an AD? Thanks..........Because MAOIs are the most efficacious and benificial tools in the psychiatrists arsenal. Nardil has turned me from a sad, sacared young man, into a confident happy young man...
