Comming across a search engine that specifacly performed time line searchs,i did one on maois.
And i learned something i think maois users or people desiring one should know.
Before you hate ur doc and think its a personal vendetta on you not to prescribe them to u,let me state what i read,and i think i posted this before also.
When they first appeared,they made a boom as the industry way back then became excitied of a new option to drugs for mental illness.Then in some i believe maybe the u.k a few reported deaths occured,and it was restepped back to be caused by cheese and parnate.
Then cases appeared in the U.S,who then officaly pulled maois off the market,so there is a time span where maois were not available medications.
Luckly for some,they oddly re instated them onto the market,however under a strict guidline that was what we still see today,only the guide line was actualy stricter,
They were re instated for the sole purpose of extreme treatment resitint patients,and even then so to be monitered closly while used.
They were not at all to be used otherwise.
So docs are referring to this official guideline when they say no to maois,and they would be backed up by it if confronted.
Now we know a lot more then the time when thiis all happened,at many docs realise this,but some docs dont care and dont forget this,usualy older ones of course,and some docs are up to date with the advances of understanding we made in maoi use.
But it came very close to maois not even being a option today.
