> I'm sorry but I have to bring this up. There are so many people out there suffering so badly...close to suicide or house bound because of anxiety who will not even consider an MAOI. Why? Cause if you are not careful it could kill you. Does anyone else see the twisted logic here?

> JHI definitley do. I really wish Parnate would have been my pdocs first choice when I was 22 years old and bed bound, I saw absolutely no future in my life. My doc put me on Imipramine, and it took me about a year to finally make some progress. With Parnate, I'm sure I wouldn't have been in bed for 2 mos., maybe 2 wks until it kicked in.
People don't be afraid of MAOI's. The chances of a hypertensive episode is not high, and the diet really isn't difficult to follow at all. Most importantly, if your not doing well with other meds., please don't wait 25 years like I did. An MAOI like Parnate, Nardil and maybe even EMSAM, just might change your life from barely hanging on, to feeling really good and enjoying each day.Tyler
