> 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?

I would consider ECT over an MAOI. They're just so rife with an eating plan that defies logic. RIMAs are slightly better on that aspect but not available in the US. EMSAM -- still not the panacea that it is, because beyond the little dose patch, there are still bold warnings about hypertensive crisis, which is pretty serious.
I understand your opinion, but I stand to disagree. Yes, there are a number of people on this board who have managed to survive on an MAOI, but there are just so many things, I mean, surviving spring allergies with OTC medication or taking cough syrup or lots of things can mean death to people who really don't actually want that in the end.
