How are your side effects from your MAOI? I have never had a doctor offer to try me on one, and I figured that the side effects were a major trade off... I too have social phobia but I'm curious about how it felt the first time you realized the MAOI helped. SSRIs never had a real positive effect for me, I just kept taking them because I believed my depression was so severe I couldn't discern if they weren't helping and that my pain was just too strong
My doctor also perscribed the NSAI indomethacin which he says will stop the flood of dopamine during o and this seems to be helping.
I was just reading through this thread because I wasnt sure what it was about. Not all of it mind. Can I offer a suggestion? Have any of you tried a ketogenic diet?A lot of the symptoms you describe: itching, rashes, low b nutrients are exactly what happen to me when I eat grains (I have liver disease-cirrhosis), either treatment or the cirrhosis itself has caused numerous digestive problems, most of which have been alleviated with a ketogenic diet.Anyway-just a thought you guys seem quite clued up on nutrition. Please be careful with those herbs mixed with meds though......
Yes, I said solve our POIS problems...Make your donations today itself! If you wait, you will wait forever!

can it be a simple weakness?
I'll list some herbal remedies that have been far more effective than NSAIDs for me: Fenugreek + tea/garlic, saw palmetto, ginkgo biloba, and nutmeg. These have all the positive anti-inflammatory benefits for me minus the risk of damaging your stomach lining that NSAIDs have. The nutmeg also seems to have a general pain-relieving effect that is far superior to tylenol for me.
Green tea seems to work a little better than black tea in combination with fenugreek for me. I found it interesting that green and black tea are both from the leaf of the same plant, but the time they are harvested and way they are processed is what makes them different.
