> Thank you for the information Scott. It was very timely and helpful. As with most of my decisions about this stuff - it goes, slow. I may not make a decision soon, but when I do, I'll let you know. One more thing: you may have mentioned this already, but how long have you been on MAOIs?

I have been on and off MAOIs since 1982. Mostly on. A great many people remain on an MAOI for decades. I know of no long term adverse effects. Don't trust me on that one, though. I don't have the slightest trepidation of using them for a lifetime.I'm glad you are able to take your time when making such important decisions. It sometimes takes quite a bit of time just to gather enough facts to make a good one. If you notice, since the use of MAOIs has been out of favor for at least the last 15 years, it is hard to find any current information concerning their use. There are quite a few people here who have enough experience with them to paint you a rather complete picture.
Good luck.
Sincerely,
Scott
