It only took a few years of switching SSRIs, Benzos, second generation AD's (effexor, wellbutrin, etc), and combos of each before I decided to try Nardil...you should be very proactive when it comes to medication and side-effects.
Never settle for a drug that only helps you a little, and leaves you with uncomfortable side-effects. For me, at least, Nardil has had very few side-effects, far fewer than the SSRIs. A good Psychiatrist should have no problem letting you try a MAOI...Be aggressive.
the diet is not a problem..it seems that most discussion about the "difficult to follow" MAOI diet and the "dangerous" MAOIs is done by those who are not taking MAOIs...pizza, beer, etc is fine in moderation; people vary, so the only way to find out is to experiment with small amounts of a specific food.
