The one exception to what I wrote above, as has been expressed to me before, is that if you exclude side effects and dietary restrictions, then pound for pound MAOI's, eg Parnate, as a class are still, at least according to most published accounts, trials, and patient remission rates, the real heavyweights. Of course the Muhammed Ali of depression treatments continues to be ECT, but it is still greatly underutilized due to the obvious stigma and other issues, but frankly, if there were a signup list, Id get on it. Zap...Zap....your cured - (Yes, I realize its not quite like that, but that was for demonstration purposes for the general audience)...and for my next trick...
