  • Title: Use of MAOI antidepressants.
    Author: Ravaris CL, Robinson DS, Nies A, Ives JO, Bartlett D.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1978 Jul; 18(1):105-11. PubMed ID: 665471.
    Abstract:
    The monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) exert significant antidepressant, antianxiety and antiphobic effects. They are safe, provided the patients are carefully selected for treatment and are given instructions on incompatible foods and drugs that must be avoided. The MAOIs represent effective alternatives to the tricyclic antidepressants. Phenelzine is an excellent agent for treating ambulatory patients with neurotic depression and those with agoraphobia and social phobias.
