>>> It sounds like it's ok as an add on to an anti depressant. I'm going to give it a try as nothing else has worked for me. In terms of parnate I think my doctor would think it has too old school. He's never mentioned a Tca or Maoi. I'll mention it though.
I am not a doctor but I've seen many different doctors over many years. If your doctor does indeed refuse to try MAOI and TCA's without supplying a valid reason, I would find a new doctor, preferably a psychiatrist rather than a GP. In fact, I'd say it's almost essential s/he be a psychiatrist.
