    I realize all of this, however, I'm one of those people who read
everything (even the backs of cereal boxes).
    When I find an item such as this,  I think others 'might' find it
interesting, too, especially because there are discussions re MAO
inhibitors from time to time on the list. We have new people joining the
list all the time and
I think they can benefit from reading this kind of information,
especially when we have people like you who can clarify what is written.
: )
    There is a link farther down on the first article that takes the
reader to three other topics which I also found interesting.
    Thanks, Charlie,
Judith
