In reply to Re: How come no MAOI/TCA poop out? Only SSRI poop » NewQuestions, posted by myco on April 3, 2009, at 11:12:28
I think I understand your question tho I definitely don't understand the implication of the articles Myco added. I have been through every SSRI known to man and they have all either pooped out or been agitating. I don't know why they are agitating and I don't know why they poop out. But I have a vague idea that the brain adapts to the med and returns to a pre med homeostasis - which is depression. I would be interested to know if this is different with MAOI's. I had good luck with selegiline (Emsam) but developed a rash in my mouth after several months so had to discontinue it. My therapist is eager for me to try Pristiq but I don't know why I would have any more success with it than I had with Effexor or any of the other SSRI's. I'm on Seroquel now and it's really not much help.
