For many maois help lock this down,i feel the term you used STAY CLEAR is a bit much,yess the sleep is a factor,but lets clinch down on that depression and then look into sleep med options,so
to your post i say anyone who feels they have turned every corner and just want the pain to stop should absoluty research maois,this is a perfect example of how one persons phrasing can effect another user,as the orignal poster might feel maois are not an option for him due to your post.All the drugs have side effects,but think about what were fighting,a ruthless monster who will not stop,so please dont ever refrain from any med avaiable to you without checking many many sources opposed to a single posters view.
