thanks for replying, girlbassplayer!!

have been on these meds for 2 weeks now. it's an MAOI (Parnate). not taking any other medications (although am taking a few vitamins - but always have).

interestingly, also did start using a new soap last week. so that probably confounds the issue. i'll talk it over with my doc tomorrow, but i'm hopeful it's the soap and not the meds. these really were a last-ditch hope.
