> The drawbacks to the MAOIs are pretty major. The dietary changes alone are so significant that it's a drug of last resort for most people. They also have a pretty high drug interaction rate, which is a concern if there's a chance you'll ever need to take another drug for anything at all. While they are life saving for a lot of people, for most depressed patients they're not worth the difficulties.

You make very good points in your post except that you seem to have been influenced by all the negative hype about MAOIs that paints these meds in very dire and dangerous terms. Be careful of exaggerations like "dietary changes are. . so major" and, regarding drug interactions, ". . .you'll ever need to take another drug for anything at all." To be exact, the MAOIs necessitate omissions in diet, rather than major changes in diet. There are definitely dangers from drug interactions but they don't encompass anything and everything, such as anti-biotics.
