Hi Phillipa,
Thanks for your support. Unfortunately, the resounding medical opinion is that I cannot be put back on an MAOI until I try some other meds. My pdoc, a mood disorder specialist, and two neurologists have all given written opinions that an MAOI poses too great a risk for me neurologically speaking. Specifically, they want me to try Nefazodone (which I refused) and clomipramine (which I agreed to try). My understanding is that if I give tje clomipramine a fair chance, and it fails, I will get referred back to the mood disorder specialist who might consider putting me back on Nardil With the writyten opinions of all these doctors, no other pdoc will put me back on Nardil. These records will just follow me wherever I go.
And no, I don't have OCD. The clomipramine is supposed to be a good antidepressant with anxiolytic properties. I have my doubts though.

> Phoenix is there any way you can get another doc and go back on nardil it seems so unfair as you were doing great what happened was not your fault. Do you have OCD? Anafranil as I'm sure you know is mainly used for that. My heart goes out to you. Love Phillipa
