Comming across a search engine that specifacly performed time line searchs,i did one on maois.
And i learned something i think maois users or people desiring one should know.
Before you hate ur doc and think its a personal vendetta on you not to prescribe them to u,let me state what i read,and i think i posted this before also.
When they first appeared,they made a boom as the industry way back then became excitied of a new option to drugs for mental illness.Then in some i believe maybe the u.k a few reported deaths occured,and it was restepped back to be caused by cheese and parnate.
Then cases appeared in the U.S,who then officaly pulled maois off the market,so there is a time span where maois were not available medications.
Luckly for some,they oddly re instated them onto the market,however under a strict guidline that was what we still see today,only the guide line was actualy stricter,
They were re instated for the sole purpose of extreme treatment resitint patients,and even then so to be monitered closly while used.
They were not at all to be used otherwise.
So docs are referring to this official guideline when they say no to maois,and they would be backed up by it if confronted.
Now we know a lot more then the time when thiis all happened,at many docs realise this,but some docs dont care and dont forget this,usualy older ones of course,and some docs are up to date with the advances of understanding we made in maoi use.
But it came very close to maois not even being a option today.

> But it came very close to maois not even being a option today.And that would have been a very sad event for many of us with atypical depression and social anxiety. The MAOIs, specifically phenelzine(Nardil) plus clonazepam is the only combination that has ever worked for me. I have been on 45+ different combinations of antidepressants. The MAOIs are unique and can work miracles for many treatment resistant patients.
I once had a PDOC that absolutely refused to put me back on Nardil, even though it was the only medication that had ever worked for me. Took 9 months, in my depleted state, to find another MD willing to prescribe the medication that saved my life.
I resent that PDOC to this day. He should not of been allowed to practice. He was incompetent and uncaring. And he almost killed me.
Just another opinion,
Jedi

This is why it's so difficult to find a new doc even if I made the decision to leave my old one. To find one to merely prescribe Parnate is hard enough. To find one that will be willing to mix it with Ritalin, Wellbutrin, Nortriptyline outside of a large metro area is almost impossible!
