Hi,
>Perhaps we can draft a letter that everyone can send to the e-mail addresses of the drug companies.
Yes, it could be a good idea.
Grrr. Why do I keep hearing the opinion that now we have Effexor and lots of other new drugs we don't need MAOIs anymore? Do doctors seriously think that everyone responds to these drugs? What about the people that don't?
Sometimes I think that many doctors don't prescribe MAOIs because they can't be bothered to educate patients about the diet, drug interactions etc. They like drugs that are 'easy to prescribe'. Or maybe they have been misled into thinking that they are not effective or that they are 'too dangerous'. Perhaps they are not knowledgeable about MAOIs and can't be bothered to teach themselves.
Scott, maybe you should try Nardil again. Or Marplan. What do you think?
Ed.
