    Right so I quit smoking. Part of quitting smoking means I'm no longer getting a dose of RIMA (Reversible Monamine Oxidase Inhibitors) every day. I'm not really looking for medical advice here (I'll get that from my psychiatrist) but what I'm interested in is the effect RIMAs on the body and on other psychoactive medications. Does smoking alter the effect of mood stabilisers, antipsychotics and antidepressants on people, i.e. stronger effect than the dose would normally create and similar?

    I can find a good deal of information on Irreversible MAOIs online but there's not really a lot out there on RIMAs and I'm generally looking for some or some good sites on the topic, especially regarding the effects of smoking cessation and the sudden withdrawal of RIMAs from mentally ill patients.

    I hope this doesn't cross the line into medical advice territory, I'm really not looking for that and more looking for general information on the topic. :)
