Hi Scott -
I'm currently transitioning from Prozac to Paxil, augmented with 10mg Zyprexa. It's giving me "fair at best" results. If the switch to Paxil doesn't help much, I'll be shopping for a new drug/drug combo.
I've always wanted to try MAOIs because I have many of the symptoms of atypical depression, but I've been on some antidepressant regimine for 18 years now and know that completely going off any medication long enough to start an MAOI would be too hellish to endure (I've tried several times in the past).
That's why I'm hoping that the new MAOI patch is less restrictive in its drug-drug interactions, and would let me start using it while transitioning off my current stuff.
Regards,
Jim
