Squiggles,
Ed's original post was clear to me when I first read it.
Firstly, he didn't lump Imipramine in with the SSRI's, or call it one. He differentiated between SSRI's, SNRI's and TCA's (by drug name on the last two drug classes, but not in the first - the SSRI's). He put them all together because they all have an affect on serotonin, and people might not be aware of that.
Secondly, it's evident that Ed was asking for people's EXPERIENCES, *IF* they had been prescribed both a seratonergic drug and a MAOI drug together.
I see no advice/opinion/encouragement in his post, for anyone to combine these drugs. He is searching for information, in particular with reference to people with treatment-resistant illnesses.
I found your remarks to be somewhat antagonistic in nature, rather than a request to clarify what his post meant.
Are you doing OK? You seem a little bit "off" today?
Take care.
Jas
