I've never noticed a time when the majority of posts were on Maois. Possibly, as time has gone on, Maois have been rediscovered by pdocs and this explains why there's more discussion of them-- if there is.
Nothing makes them less mainstream or more complex than SSRIs or SNRIs, infact they're been around longer and have a clear anti-depressant effect that's at least as strong.
One of the strengths of Babble, imo, is that all the meds are discussed on one board-- so that if you take one med, you can become informed about others. It would greatly disadvantage users of other meds if Maois were segregated, because it would deprive them of easy access to and awareness of an important alternative treatment.. And vice versa, it would make it more difficult for users of maois to gain familiarity with other approaches.. Moreover, it seems to suggest that there's something unacceptable or otherwise questionable about Maois-- otherwise why put them--and not every drug-- to the side?
Altogether, I don't see any benefit to having an Maoi board-- while the disadvantages seem numerous.
