Truth is, a good anesthesioligist has no problem with maoi patients. Many Doctor's are just so deficient of knowledge when it comes to maoi's. Mine included. I think they just don't want the "hassle" of an maoi. So much easier to hand out the Prozacs, and zolofts, etc. and say see ya in a month. It's really a shame because maoi's are powerful ad's and that is exactly what many people need.
