Well, I think that the only physicians that should be prescribing MAOI's
are people with specific training in their use.  In my particular
subspecialty of Neurology, we use a variety of medications for their
unique effects on cerebral physiology.  Other than that, only
psychiatrists are using things things anyomore.
Most of the major diving certification agencies would agree with you
vis-a vis MAOI's.  I'm more of the philosophy that decisions like that
need to be individualized by diving physicians who can take all of the
factors into account.
I personally feel that by continuing this discussion on techdiver, we're
just wasting bandwidth.
