Hi,
I am new to PB but have read your posts with interest.Over the past 12 years I have had all antidepressants except for MAOI's or the addition of lithium. It is with much anxiety that I commenced Phenalzine this week. Reading your posts have given me encouragement that it's dietry restrictions aren't necessarily as severe as I initially thought as long as I am sensible in my approach.
I have found many other antidepressants helpful for short periods of time, but the effects fade after approximately 6 -10 months.I am hoping that Phenalzine may offer a longer term solution. Please would others who have been taking MAOI's for more than a couple of years advise me re their experience of mood alteration / stabalisation while taking it.caml
