Anyway back to the original post which asked for support. A lot of people have success in MAOis - I'm one of those people. Tried so many different meds between 2000 and 2009 but nothing seemed to keep me from feeling like I need to try something else......that was until early 2010 when I was allowed to add Parnate to a Lamictal/Lithium base that had kept me afloat. Parnate ended up raising my BP a lot after dosing so my doc and I decided to give Marplan a try. Four years later I'm still on the same med cocktail, no longer drink alcohol to help cope, and have made good strides toward becoming "well" and not constantly thinking of myself as I'll.
Whatever the mechanisms the MAOi class has been around since the 60s and they work we for some like me where other classes don't. I wish you the best.
