i am known as a 'crusader' for the old ADs. and nardil vet, even a mix of nardil and imipramine--tricky, but works. you may shake, but your cognitive, creative functions soar. the beauty of maoi is their 'broad-spectrum' nature. as the main neuro-transmitters are only partially known, they know a handfull---there may be thousands, well, nardil doesn't care---it will stop the breakdown enzyme (monoamineoxydase)---mao---so even if your depression involves no serotonin, or any specific known or unknown xmitter reuptake problem, nardil will still work---because it's not a rifle aimed at serotonin alone, etc.---it's a shotgun. oddly enough maoi have been shown to promote youthful vigor, hair-growth, libido---even extend lab rat's lives to 30%---and as youths. look at deprenyl---my french neuropsycopharmacoligist told me of it in 1995 as he used it in his paris, france practice, but it was unapproved here. apparently maoi may extend life---in general? perhaps. if it's deprenyl? the newest 'selective' maoi? probably. thanks, and you're welcome.
