I used moclobemide )here in Mexico is called AUROREX > and is the only MAOI available. The social security give to the atipical depressed people.). It works for me for about 10 years. It does not have the side efects that have, NARDIL, MARPLAN. I changed to NARDIL because it begin to dosent work.
Let a chance with AUROREX

The only AD that had ever worked for me in the past was Nardil. But like you, the side effects were insane! then when i gained 60lbs in 6 weeks, i freaked out and went off it.
