> Jon :)The poser MAOI?!!! Ha Ha! I like that! But the poser MAOI is still better than the SSRIs!
It's great that lowering helps- once I needed to lower once when I was taking Nardil with Zyprexa- gave it a couple of days and the smile was wide again.
I can see myself on Nardil for life- just manipulating the dose now and then.
Take care bro,
