I have been where you are - tried everything in the book, nothing worked, but scared of MAOis. Started Parnate last March and i am for the first time in my life depression free! It is truly a miracle. The only things i avoid eating is blue cheese, aged cheddar, really aged meats and food past its expiration date or anything that could have mold or spoilage. The old published diets are way too restrictive. I wear a necklace and carry a card in case i am taken into an emergency room, so they wont give me a drug that will interact badly. Simple, really, and very little in exchange for an unbelievable feeling of being glad to be alive. Please do yourself a favor and give the MAOIs a chance. You might want to check out a fantastic group on yahoo consisting of people taking or considering MAOIs - tons of info there. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/maois/
Best of luck, Melodie
