I come here probably more than I wish I did and was going to stop myself from making any posts today. But when I saw yours I just had to say, "Hi, welcome!" There are some good people here with a few experts that frequently pop in.
MAOIs are always a popular topic here.
Have you ever seen the writings of Dr Gillman of PsychoTropical Research? Great stuff. His favorite meds based on experience in what works and what doesn't are the MAOIs, Parnate in particular, and a few select TCAs either by themselves or combined with Zoloft.
Go to his website and read. Many good topics including MAOIs. You may likely get some ideas you had not thought of. For example, a particular TCA alone or combined with an SSRI, or of course, Parnate.
I wonder why Parnate hasn't been tried with you yet? At websites where people rate their meds, the combination of Parnate + Klonopin seems particularly effective for people with your kinds of symptoms and history. Some people said Parnate by itself did wonders for all their symptoms including anxiety, phobias, panic, pain, fatigue, cognition, and depression.
Dr Gillman has treated over a 1000 patients with Parnate, but only about 50 with Nardil. That is based on his experience of what works, as well as the difference in side effects. Check it out. You'll get some good ideas I am sure.
