This is something I would like to know... I don't have problem with the strict diet... I just wonder if:
a) Do they make everyone blow up and gain 8000 pounds like all the PDocs tell me?
and,
b)Are MAOIs a long term solution or are just going to work for a few months and then quit?
I mean, lets be real. One time my PDoc opened up his PDR and Nardil wasn't even listed!?! If these things really work wonders... one would think they would be a bit more commonly prescribed. We can't ascribe all this to some giant no-profit-in it-conspiracy can we? Tons of people are on Lithium and Klonopin and no one is getting rich from them anymore.
I've not tried them(yet), I just wonder if all the talk about them here is because people have tried everything else and the MAOIs are held up as some kind of "holy grail"... err... I mean... "gold standard."
