I thought I had responded to this earlier, but no post shows up. I wanted to express my appreciation for your responses and to note that I actually have a pretty well-informed doctor who takes the time to discuss these matters thoroughly. I think his reluctance on the MAOI side is related in part to a self-injury situation I had a few years ago, and in part to the fact that he is aware that my adherence to dietary restrictions for a cholesterol problem wasn't exactly stellar.I don't think he will refuse to try MAOIs if necessary, but at this point he's obviously trying to find something that's in both our comfort zones given my history. I may be more anxious to get on with it, but I trust this doctor and would prefer, personally, to avoid MAOIs until other resources have been exhausted.
Unfortunately, it's pretty clear that I'm coming to that point. So risk concerns related to the MAOIs will probably have to be reassessed soon.
Thanks again for taking the time.
