Most of MAOI side effects are tolerable and/or go away in time. Like any drug, there are some SE's that are deal-breakers. This is an individual decision between a patient and doctor. And of course you know that everyone does not respond alike to meds.

When my doc wanted to put me on Efexor, I was fearful of my BP going up since, every bit of data I have seen on the net seems to indicate Efexor's main side effect was to make BP rise. I already have high BP & am taking an ACE inhibitor for it & my doc assured me that if Efexor worked for me that it would lower my BP & so far this has been the case. So I guess when people say YMMV it really is true. :)
