In reply to Anyone been described an MAOI in the UK?, posted by sowhysosad on April 14, 2009, at 16:10:11
My doctor is very much against prescribing an MAOI (I too live in Britain). From what I have read and heard phenelzine would really help my severe anxiety but my doctor doesn't want to go near MAOIs. Saying that, he has tried on other patients - and said he would consider using - moclobemide which is a reversible MAOI. It's not as effective as drugs such as Parnate or Nardil, but it still may be worth considering - especially as it's dietary restrictions aren't as bad.
I read about Symbyax just being licensed for treatment resistant depression the other day. It's basically a mix of Prozac and Zyprexa. What it's like for atypical depression I don't know, but it may be worth considering.
