>And as far as Zyprexa -- the lipid profile issues can be detected at your doctors office
A lot of people who take Zyprexa gain a massive amount of weight, which is usually very difficult to loose. The risk of a heart attack or stroke is much greater in people who are overweight.
>heart attack from an MAOI
Interestingly, Nardil usually produces a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate. MAOIs such as pargyline (Eutonyl) were formerly used to treat essential hypertension.
>Exhaustion of other less dangerous choices are others
Most people who take MAOIs have already tried a large variety of other drugs and found them ineffective or intolerable.
>Its just not my choice and I dont think it should be any doctor-patient relationship's first choice either.
If other treatments don't help, what other choices are there?
