>you stubbornly refuse to try tranylcypromine or phenelzine.....
I don't get the impression that Hello is being stubborn :) I suspect that s/he (I have an impression of a man somehow) has possibly had two problems:
1. Unwillingness to prescribe certain medications on the part of the psychiatrist. Many psychiatrists are unfamiliar with MAOIs and may never prescribe them.
2. Anxiety about the effects that certain medications might have, partly based on past experience with other meds. This may have created a reluctance to try MAOIs. Understandably, some people also feel anxious about the dietary restrictions associated with MAOIs and the possible consequences of eating the wrong foods.
Naturally, the tendency to feel negative and/or anxious about the available treatment options is increased by the depression itself.
Am I right Hello?
I hope so! I seem to be writing on people's behalf!
