Nothing 'bad' ever happened to me when I took MAOIs--never ran into any hypotensive crises or anything, and the medical community's warnings always seemed a little hysterical to me concerning that and related issues (though I understand no doctor wants an unnecessary death on their hands). Still, I get the impression that the liver risks with Marplan are somewhat serious--I figure a simple blood-test every few months to keep an eye on it is probably a reasonable thing to do, and not really very inconvenient--just a thought.
