Hi Tom,
I was thinking........ perhaps you'll only need a very low dose of isocarboxazid. Maybe you're very sensitive to MAOIs. Even 20mg seems to be having quite a profound effect.
Just think of the SSRIs, some people only need very low doses. Sukarno only needed 1mg Prozac to prevent panic attacks. Some people are very sensitive to SSRIs.
.......In the same way, some people are ultra-sensitive to MAOIs. Perhaps you'd respond to a very low dose eg. 10mg isocarboxazid if you stayed on it for a few weeks. Don't give up on isocarboxazid so soon. Please! Return to 10mg for the time being. The therapeutic effect can take weeks to develop. A pinch of diazepam might help you in the mean time.
