Scott just home and asked that question said I would of my pdoc. She replied that if someone has failed on all meds and they have atypical depression yes a pdoc will use Maois. She thinks my problem is more situation and didn't advise more ad's for me. Maybe that's why never withdrawal and not able to tolerate the SSRI's and SNRI's. She also was willing to send me back to infection control specialist who treated the lymes. I did decline on that as figure I'd have severe arthritis and spinal taps wouldn't have been clear nor MRI's two normal. She then went on to say clearly I wasn't depressed biologically that extreme anxiety was my illness and to up benzos and that I didn't need ad's as the key was fixing the situational problems. So for those with atypical depression great meds. So please I am not picking on you and glad those that do have the condition as getting the help from others they need. She's prescribed them for years as very old and her husband was pdoc till died of cancer. Thinks most of anxiety from thyroid which leads to more anxiety a viscious cycle. And the anxiety is keeping thyroid from stabalizing. Now the endo on Monday . And agree that all meds should be discussed on meds board. Sound a bit better as know how you've suffered for so many years. Didn't mean to hurt you my sincerest apologies. Please forgive me and my lack of empathy. Love Phillipa ps great traffic picking up on meds board.
