Funny. I've been here for quite awhile and I am having a hard time thinking of people who think like that - you know - absolutists. It is an unreasonable conclusion at this point in time.
You're right, some people like to generalize:
> But the risks are not worth it, imho, period.
You seem pretty sure of yourself. You are fortunate if you have alternative treatments that you respond to. I don't. At least, not yet. In my flow of logic, MAOIs are well worth the risks I deem them to carry.
> We can manipulate most of the neurochemicals that maoi can with combos of other,
Interesting that you got stuck on the word "most". That's pretty much a logical deal-breaker. How do you know which of the residual properties of MAOIs that "most" doesn't cover make them uniquely suited for some people?
Anyway, which neurochemicals must one manipulate to get well? What mechanisms of action would you suggest to replace those of an MAOI? What drugs possess these properties?
How do MAOIs work? How do you know?
Your statements are a pretty weighty ones. Can you answer the questions I ask to help validate them? Neuroscientists can't, and they have been working on this stuff since the turn of the last century.
