Please read up on MAOI's inhibitors tonight or in the am. I am being faced with a similar choice, as I have really run the gamut with meds, but basically told my pdoc of 8 years that there is no way I want an MAOI, which parnate is. There a a ton of really good reasons and only you can tell if you can/will deal with the side effects and dietary restricions.
With that in mind, will I try them--maybe. But if I don't see a totally good reaction for the switch , he knows , I'll "just say no" and live with life as is...
good luck and I really hope you and your doc have ex[lored ALL other avenues
In peace,
