> LinkadgeThanks Linkadge. I've read that SRI's are the ones to avoid for MAOI's (mostly from the excellent psychotropical.com) but that's good to know about bupropion. TBH I wouldn't miss it that much, I'm not sure what benefit it gives me (as with most of my meds sadly).
My PDoc is very cautious around MAOI's so I suspect he's not going to allow me to take anything anyway. I just wanted to see what people's experience with this was.
I love the smell of Abilify in the morning. The smell, you know that chemical smell. Smells like victory. Some day this war's gonna end...
