the maois work wonders, but in my experience you have to be so cautious re. changing the dosage. I just lowered the dosage of parnate slightly and now it doesnt work. Same thing happened with nardil, though it did keep working for 25 or so years. but any change of dosage was SO complicated to manoevre. Again, I wonder whether this was just my experience or that of others. Its very true that these meds affect us all in such different ways. I also found with maois that I became over positive, especially on nardil.... ie a bit too high, and others have posted similar experiences - which is quite dangerous, because if/when they stop working, it might be impossible to get that euphoric feeling with any other med, and that reaction will always remain as a target, though Im not sure if that is really the purpose of tanking an antidepressant, if that makes sense. Also when they stop working, I feel that I have 'brain damage' ie my brain doesnt work properly and I cant do simple tasks which is extremely frightening. I think they are much stronger drugs than we realise.
