My Graditude to MAOIs

Posted by PCB on December 30, 2019, at 3:00:37

Although Im trying to get off Nardil, I alway wonder where I would be without it. I only have met 2 doctors in my life that use MAOIs. If I had never met them, I guess I would be on ECT permanently, an alcoholic or maybe would have institutionalized.

Since most patients dont have access to pdocs that prescribe MAOI, where do all the 33% of treatment resistant patients go? Is it ECT permanently, alcoholism, institutionalization, suicide?

Yeah, it's pretty sad.

Of course, its not just those who don't respond to traditional meds, its those who might respond better or more completely.

I remember on Parnate feeling functional once again. Then I had a spontaneous hypertensive crisis, my psychiatrist got scared and ended that abruptly.

Back on useless meds.

A lot of us keep suffering! At the same time, I believe most of us keep trying to find relief through any and all means we can imagine.

there's alot of regular checkup doctors, that don't do anythingg, the'll prescibre a antidepressant an no matter how much your having depression, the'll just say do CBT, or prescribe some bullcrap medication that doenst work. That dreadfed feeling of going int oa session and saying the depression or anxiety, and they listen, then at the end, 'im leaving your meds the way they are' omg.....makes me want use drugs or use nootropics

i asked my doctor in rehab about parnate, because i read it helps depression treatment resistant, she just smiled at me and said no, said its a 60s med. They don't want to take risk, or don't know how to manage, because have diet on maois, but the'll combine antidepressants, strong ones like effexor and provigil, or effexor and remeron. Or use wellbutrin, and add antidepressants and bump the their doses ip. use selegiline alot, it's known more in medical psychiatry, its less risky, or you don't have diet you have to have on parnate. They say seleigine is a good antidepressant, it works similar to stimulant like low dose of dexamph I would choose parnate, its a strong antidepressant, more potent than seligine. Just parnate read people have fatigue during the day, and some doctors will not go above 80mg, Nardil is the best antidepressant there is, it's strong and it make you happy and enjoy life.

it's just older, and the diet have to do

I am on parnate and it has saved my life.I was very lucky to have it prescribed when all else failed. But I could not come off it, because all the symptoms would return with a vengeance. I can only pray that it will go on working for the rest of my life.
