In reply to Oh and Ace... a question, posted by Caleb462 on May 1, 2003, at 23:00:29
> I asked this question a week or so ago on the board, but only got 1 or 2 replies. Well, actually, I asked about trycyclics. Now... I wanna about MAOIs. Do they blunt emotions? The "emotion-flattening" effect of SSRIs seems to be the anti-depressant effect itself, so does this happen with trycyclics and MAOIs too? Thanks.

> I'm considering asking my doc to put me on Nardil or Parnate - for my godawful combo of OCD/GAD/SP/ADD/Depression. I don't know his stance on MAOIs though, so we'll see. Thanks.First off I have to say everyone is slightly different and have all different types of reactions to drugs. But just to answer your question - Since I've been on Nardil (after many SSRIs) I can say I have my full range of emotions. Unlike when I was on SSRI's I could neither feel completely happy or completely sad. Sorry my answer is so short, I'm kind of in a rush but just had to buzz in! Take care and best wishes!
