Finally, if you do decide to go on MAOIs I would strongly recommend the following. First getting a medic bracelet that says you take MAOIs. Second getting a good home blood pressure monitor. Third demanding that your doctor give you thorazine to take in the case of a hypertensive crisis (ie "emergency pills").
