Exactly.
Seems like we get more out of communicating with other than we do from most of our prescribing doctors. More benefit of others' experience, more humanity....There needs to be a coherent network database...Dr Bob comes the closest, if one has the patience....
I live in Philadelphia. Trying to get someone to prescribe an MAOI is liking getting your family physician to give you heroin. Most are so ignorant, arrogant, and few treat you like a human. The dietary restrictions on MAOIs are decades out of date. I've got to stop before I start. But well said. I've got other studies that back up the one linked to early on this thread from McClean.Thatt's so, AWESome!!!
> FInally, a case of a patient who gets to show his ... not-smart... overconfident pdoc just how ignorant and arrogant he/she is!! i lOVe it!
> First off there's a great article about the use and prescribing, and etc., of MAOIs, and about how they're "an option worth trying" and that notion. Then you have, somewhere in that article, a little statement about how any antidepressant without significant serotonin reuptake inhibiting properties is okay/safe to combine (cautiously, of course) with an MAOI. And what do they even include their in their list of a few examples in parentheses? That's right! Trazadone! i love it!!

> i commend you, Flipsactown. You have done a good thing this day (or are doing soon, whatever). Wow. That makes my hour. Thanks for sharing that, and DOing it, especially.
> Let us not forget this moment in our lives, my friends, when the person who calls himself, "Flipsactown" did a noble and honorable deed, indeed. This shall forever go down (at least in my mind, as long as my memory works) as a time when the patient, the manipulated, the used, the host, the prey-- yes, they-- no, WE-- have won this battle, and the psychiatrists, the "pdocs", the iron fists, the holier-than-thous, the tyrants, the condescending, conceited, pill-pushing, take-your-money-and-leave-you-bloodied-and-soiled-and-worse-than-before-with-shattered-hopes-on-the-side-of-the-road, stubborn as spoiled children, "I know more about how this drug makes you feel than you do, even though I've never taken A DRUG IN MY EFFING LIFE!!!(outside of NSAIDs), because I'M an M.D. and you're just a mentally weak freak going to a psychiatrist!"-type people, the symbiotic parasites-- yes, they lose. Today, they lose.
> god, i'm insane. i will "just stop already." Sorry for that. Got carried away. Which is easy to do being the OCPD freak that i am, er smthn. (Or maybe thats just an excuse.)? Who knOWws?...
> Okay enough!
> Well done once again Flip. .
