"I didn't respond to tricyclics at all five years ago," says Karen, a New Jersey graduate student who has been chronically depressed most of her life. "When I was switched to an MAOI, I responded very well. But I couldn't take the diet. After I finally went off the drug, my friends told me I was always in a daze while I was taking MAOIs, but I wasn't aware of that at the time. I was switched to Prozac four years ago, and I've been taking that ever since." Patients often look dazed or even robotic, much the way Karen had appeared to her friends.>
