Peter, i am now an MAOI believer after having tried SSRIs of many types in many combinations over the years. I am also bipolar and had the same experience as you - either being unable to tolerate the SSRIs or having them poop out on me. I would recommend looking into the newer info on the MOAI diet. I think you will find, as i did, that it is not nearly as restrictive as your doc feels it is. The diet is the reason i refused MAOIs for so many years and now that i am on them i find it to be no big deal. Most importantly, i have found dramatic relief from my symptoms that i have never felt before. As always, we are all different in our responses, but i felt compelled to reply and urge you not to give up on something that could be very good without even giving it a try. BEst of luck to you - its a tough road dealing with depression and i think we have all been sick and tired of it all at some point. Please dont give up.
