Hi Tepiaca,
IMHO eliminating Nardil at this fragile moment in your life would be a bad mistake. If you have social anxiety and atypical depression the other medication is not going to work better. By the time you do a two week washout, you may be in the hospital. Even though the test results showed major depression, if you have been through the type of endogenous atypical depression where you don't leave your bed except for a few hours a day, you know what I mean. The loss of your girlfriend is causing a triple slam for you. Exogenous depression on top of the preexisting endogenous depression and social anxiety. I would find a doctor who was not afraid to add a tricyclic (perhaps nortriptyline) to the Nardil. Sounds to me like this new doctor is MAOI phobic. They are everywhere.
Good Luck,
Jedi
