Hi, wishingstar. I also was going to ask about Maois. The patch, which is called Emsam, is really worth trying. I've had a very good reaction to it.
But if expense is an issue, I wouldn't necessarily give up on Parnate or Nardil. Of course, it depends on your situation. I know you've been going through a very hard time lately. But if you've tried almost everything else, one of them might make a difference.
You do have to be careful with some other medications and some foods (not as many as is often thought). The food prohibitions are only for a certain number of things-- and pretty easy to get to know, after an initial period of just checking on certain products.
But the Maois are very good drugs, which could really help, and be worth trying.
