> I'm a little hesitant to try maoi's, due to the diet restrictions...Michael: It has worked very well. More outgoing, sleep better, more energy, much better outlook on life, enjoy doing things I did not before, etc... Side effects: Around 8pm or so I get sleepy, but in a nice way. Diet restrictions, from what I understand hinge somewhat on dosage (the higher you go, the greater the chance of a hypertensive episode). From previous post I've read, this problem with maoi's is somewhat overblown, but does exist. It's a small price to pay for getting rid of your depression. You just have to keep an eye on it. Best of blessings to you!
