In reply to what else could my doc prescribe after these?, posted by nickguy on May 14, 2006, at 16:16:13
There are a whole host of things I see that could be helpful:
Remeron, nortriptyline, one of the other SSRIs, desipramine, and a number of combos.
If you're determined that an MAOI is what you want to try, your pdoc may indeed go ahead and prescribe it, and there's the new patch, too, which will probably make that an easier drug to get. Before doing that, print out a copy of the dietary restrictions, and stick to it for a few weeks -- see if it's something that you're willing to deal with indefinitely.
That's what stops me every time -- well, that and my T, who won't support taking any drug that requires any dietary restrictions for me ;-) -- I can see following the diet for a couple of months. But the idea of giving up so many of the limited number of foods that I eat comfortably doesn't bode well for an MAOI being a longer term solution for me.
What has your psychiatrist said when you're asked about other options?
