> GG didn't you once say that you chose an MAOI first because you wanted to avoid the side effects of the others subtypes of AD's?
Not exactly. I had taken several SSRI's over the years, as well as trying Wellbutrin with an SSRI. None really helped that much. Once I got the diagnosis of atypical depression and learned that MAOI's were the "gold standard" for treatment of this type of depression, I decided to go this route versus try other SSRI's or TCA's.
>And I have an LSW that I just started working with. And she wants to do relaxation theraphy.
That sounds like a good plan. I hope this turns out to be a helpful thing for you.
>Biggest problem is that I have only been in the area since Novemeber so no knows me well. But I can't spend my life on the computer out of fear of the outside world.
It's so hard meeting new friends when you're in a new place, isn't it? Especially as we get older, I think.
Take care,
