> I'm not sure whether these drugs are on the market in Finland, if they are not you could probably get a pharmacy to order them for you if you had a prescription. Ted Brosnan, who you may have come across on babble, lives in Norway and he has recently found a psychiatrist who is willing to prescribe an MAOI. Apparantly, his doctor will need to get 'permission' to precribe an MAOI and the pharmacy will need to order it for him. I don't know how it works in Finland though, it would make sense to try Aurorix first and then consider the option of a traditional MAOI if the Aurorix didn't help.Yeah, aurorix feels more safe also. I'm not sure how they use MAOI here, it has never been suggested to me. That is also something i will take up with my pdoc.
> Some people on my course are much older than you. You are still young! Couldn't you go to University in Finland?Yes, i could but the distance to Stockholm is less than to closest university in Finland, i live in the little island called Aaland which is located between Finland and Sweden, you see. So it's a boat trip anyway. So i can't really commute, i'll have to move. We do have a local institute of technology which i've attended three years(B.Sc.) before i moved. I didn't get a diploma because i was going to Sweden for a M.Sc. diploma. I have to say i feel very reluctant to go back to my old school. That if something would make feel like a complete failure. I know the teachers there.
Btw, i recently started my own company in electronics. Will see how that works out. I do have a regular job daytime, but for now i'm sick listed.Kind regards,
Mattias
