Linda,
Please read my reply above to "Suddenly suicidal..5/16" I got a bit carried away there relating my exprience taking an MAOI (Nardil) and I was embarrassed by the length of my reply; but it will give you a good idea of what a wonderful help it can be if it works for you.
There's nothing scary about the side effects. Just stay away from the relatively small list of forbidden foods and and heed the other medication warnings. Also, it was easy to get on, easy (for me at least) to get off when I wanted to stop taking it.
Give it a try if your doctor recommends it. Good Luck! (Incidentally, I just started taking Nardil again ten days ago. Last Saturday I couldn't get out of bed - and didn't want to even if I had the strength. Today I feel so much better - my energy is coming back and I want to be alive again!)
