There are many good articles in respected peer-reviewed medical and research journals on the effectiveness of MAOIs in certain types of depression. You may wish to order the full versions of some of these articles and show them to those who think MAOIs have no place in contemporary medicine.
As for the loss of taste and smell, I think only very few medications have been known to cause that, and even then, permanent loss is rare - not that it's much of a comfort for the unfortunate few who have fallen prey to it. A lot of medications and even minerals and supplements can cause temporary and reversible perversions of taste (not usually smell) - for example, I experienced that as a result of excessive magnesium.
