Colds, at least, go away in a week if you treat them, 7 days if you don't. What's scarier is serious injuries, I rembember when I had a knee injury and the PA refused to prescribe any opiate meds because the computer said they were contraindicated with the Marplan I was trying at the time, even though really only Demerol is the truly dangerous one. Doctors are so clueless anyway, another time when I was doing a retrial of Prozac, a doctor prescibed a pain med and then called back concerned because the computer showed I was taking Emsam (ancient history, another failure), she said the pain med was contraindicated with the Emsam, obviously, since I had just been talking to her about the Prozac, she had no clue what Emsam was, if, as she apparently thought, I'd been taking Prozac and Emsam together I'd most likely be dead, yet her only concern was the pain med! Definitely, when on a MAO, you need to do a lot of research and be very careful who you trust. Cecilia
