I tried MAOIs (Parnate, Nardil) in the late 1980s in various combinations with tryptophan, Elavil, and lithium for unipolar depression. They had no effect. No other ADs have worked over the years, either.
Does anyone have experience with meds that didn't work in the past becoming effective when re-tried years later? Or is a brain built a certain way and a drug that failed once won't work later just due to the passage of time.
My pdoc doesn't seem interested in re-trying meds that failed even that long ago.

I haven't got any 14 year gaps, but I did give prozack a try many different times. Never did it work.

I gave Prozak a try off and on for about 2 years, never did I like it. Gave up on ADs for anouther couple years, when my doc said I look depressed. Tried Celexa and it worked?
