In reply to Taken these meds without success. MAOI time?, posted by hearttransplant on July 23, 2012, at 21:02:27
Read my post a bit above about "atypical depression" response-- I took oral selegiline before Emsam was approved in the US, along with DLPA, and I've been in remission ever since.
I would try Emsam at the MAOI-B dose (lower doses), and then go up to 9mg and use an MAOI diet if that doesn't work. But try Life Extension brand DLPA with it.
Nardil iisn't going to do anything at 9mg that Emsam can't.
> Hi, new to these forums, although many here have sang praise of MAOIs, I understand why doctors would want to make sure that they exhausted their options before willing parting with a script for nardil or parnate. My questio to you all is, when are all options considered exhausted?

I am planning to see my doc for some tweaks in my meds, and I was wondering if it was time I suggested trying an MAOI? BTW I was diagnosed officially with depression at 16 and I am now 22.
