Maybe it deprends where you live, I've had no trouble getting MAO's prescribed, in fact the 1st of the 3 I've tried (4 if you count Moclobemide, which I got from overseas with my pdoc's knowledge) was prescribed by a GP. Unfortunately, I've had no luck with any of them, they're not the miracle meds for everyone. Still. I guess they must not be used much becasuse when I called the anesthesia dept of my HMO to find out how long I needed to be off Marplan before surgery the person i talked to kept saying oh don't worry about it, I've been here 2 and a half years and we never wean off anything but blood thinners. I knew perfectly well if I believed her I'd end up getting my surgery postponed and finally managed to get hold of someone who had heard of MAO's. Kind of scary, considering the many potential interactions. Cecilia
