Hi Phillipa,
I think you are probably right. Most of the people who post on this board are treatment resistant. A large number of depressed people respond to SSRIs and get better. They are really not represented here, to a great degree. Then there are the rest of us. Those that have been on 30 different meds with few or no results. These are the people that risk the MAOIs. I can confidently say that without Nardil, I would not be here today. It is the only medication that has brought me out of 3+ major depressions. I'm currently in partial remission, taking Omega-3s and Wellbutrin. But, if the major depression hits again, I will go right back to the "Big" gun.
Take care,
Jedi
