i can so understand withdrawal problems. i've just gone thru them and boy are they not fun! btw, i took nardil, the other MAO inhibitor, years ago but had no problems going off it. the food restrictions were a pain--no cheese?! that just about killed me. i loooove cheese.

i'm glad you will be in a room wit all your friends while in japan. i'm guessing just being around friends will help a lot with any depression. i think it's best to prepare them ahead of time for any foreseeable problems. that way, they'll know how to help you better.

it would probably be a good idea to have pdoc or whoever is on call paged. i don't know what your side effects are but if they are serious then you need to check in with a doc so you don't end up in the hospital and miss your trip! can't have that. oh, but i just might volunteer to go in your place if that happens. aaaah, i will now commence my evil plan to go in your place to japan.
