In reply to atypical depression - med advice..., posted by fiftylager on February 1, 2006, at 15:03:33
I have the same symptoms. I went through a bunch of SSRIs and alternative meds with no relief. I'm on Nardil now and have notice some progress. You may want to present some of the information you gathered to your doctor. Is this a new doctor? Some doctors can be put off when the patient knows a lot, but some are not. I know someone here who will bring in PubMed articles to their doctor to make a case. If you have psychomotor slowing, like me, you could read/bring in the article just posted recently on this board. It makes a case for NOT using SSRIs. I feel comfortable on MAOIs simply because I had no choice but to try them and I haven't had any hypertensive crisis yet. I wouldn't worry too much about the whole thing, it'll take a little time to find the right doctor and/or med. If you live in the Boston, MA I could help you out a little more. Some hospital websites will tell you what a particular doctors specialty is, e.g. treatment resistants, maois, etc...
