Hello again Jedi!
I searched the archives....you're right, I should try and be persistant with the pdocs etc. It was quite funny - there was even a post from you recommending the same thing as you just have to to me - sorry for sounding like a broken record!
In truth I am scared about taking something so potentially fatal - and I am scared of side effects! I think I would be really scared about the dietary requirements and have so much aniexty about that it would be counter productive somehow. I get panic attacks if I take two aspirin in one day! I also seem to be particulary side effect sensitive.
I also seem to convince myself that I am not THAT bad, but in truth I guess I am. I'm great at sweeping things under the carpet.
Kind regards
Meri

I think I got about 150 hits(some duplicates of course) about people discussing availability of Nardil and MAOIs in the UK. In a post from March of 2005, Ed_UK said he had dispensed it from the pharmacy, so some doctors are using it. Another post said they called two PDOCs and wrote to ten before they found two that were willing to rx a MAOI.
