Hey there Jedi!
> If your depression is atypical with social anxiety and treatment resistant, Nardil(phenelzine) will probably fix it.
Would like to try it (although it scares me abit) I'm seeing an NHS pdoc after christmas (I think and hope!). although I have no idea what he will recommend.
>The SSRIs and SNRIs all left me apathetic and anhedonic.
Me too! They made me worse if anything.
A lot of PDOCs won't use a MAOI, but I would find one that will before suffering through another five unsuccessful med trials.
I'll try.....although if this NHS pdoc won't prescribe one (NHS is the free) then I'll have to go private and pay. I don't know what my options are on the NHS, like if I can just request to see another pdoc if this one won't prescribe one. I guess we'll see!
> PS IMHO St. John's Wort is too mild a MAOI to use for treatment resistant depression.I know, but its all I've got at the moment. :o(
Anyway kind regards
Meri
