In reply to Are MAOI's used when SSRI'S dont work?, posted by meAgain on June 22, 2011, at 15:05:46
Generaly MAOI's are a last resort, when nothing else has worked.
Generaly you would have tried an SSRI, an SNRI, a noradrenalin reuptake inhibitor such as nortriptyline or another tricyclic, Welbutrin and Remeron before going onto an MAOI
They are generaly only prescribed by psychiatrists.
They can be amazingly effective for some people with depression, anxiety and OCD symptoms
If you have tried everything and had no sucsess, ask about trying one.
