One thing I would hate is the diet restrictions.. "If you eat this you die.. and this.. and this.. also, if you eat this you will die instantly and this.. and this.. if you look at a slice of cheese you will die... and this.. etc.."

Please share?
I love your quote, it's so funny! I have been thinking about MAOIs after trying a laundry list of SSRIs and SNRIs without success. I hear that some people have found them helpful in treatment resistant depression. If you decide to go with one, please let me know how it works out for you! Good luck
