Ah, that was very funny, thanks.
I'm sure MAOIs are available in the UK, I just don't know which ones. You just need to get a different shrink. Many psychiatrists have trained exclusively with "candy" antidepressants like SSRIs and don't have the confidence in themselves and their patients to prescribe potentially dangerous drugs (which internists and other specialists do routinely.)
You might have better luck with an older psychiatrist, one who did his residency in the early eighties or earlier.
