Hi Dan!!
>My only theory for this (other than the possibility that it really is a better, more effective drug - at least for me) is that all of the bad stuff about MAOIs are pretty much known and any pdoc you go to will run down a list of side effects and warn you about how dangerous the drug can be and many times will flat out refuse to prescribe the drugs. On the other hand, SSRIs and SNRIs are touted as these miracle drugs that pdocs seem over eager to prescribe and you are lucky if they even mention the possible side effects (and when they do mention them they tell you that they occur very rarely and are no problem to deal with). And when you do report side effects from SSRIs or SNRIs your pdoc will often deny that they are even attributable to these drugs. So, months down the line, when you realize how potent the SSRIs and SNRIs really are, you can really resent that you weren't given a more accurate picture of these drugs before you started out.
This is so true. It's sad how most doctors only truly accept the side effects of the drugs that they don't prescribe anymore. They are delusional.

Ed.
