> Four years ago, I had a conversation with the director of the US moclobemide project at Roche. At that time, he told me they were trying to get moclobemide approved for social phobia in the US. They had elected not to pursue an indication for depression. He told me that the US trials did not demonstrate enough efficacy to continue the project, and it was dropped.

Hi...I really agree with you Scott. But Moclobemide is approved for Social Phobia. I have worked many years in hospital, and talked with many doctors. I canŽt rememer none of them had posetive respons in these "weake" meds. I have tried it too. But with no success at all. SSRI are proberly mutch better, or the old mao Nardil.
I reallaly doŽnt know whitch place Moclobemide have in generell.
I know that in very resistent social phobias, some very knowledges psychian in these areas add an small amount of ssri. 10 mg Citalopram to monoclbemide can makes dramaticly improvment. But be very carfully, because of the seretonergic syndorom. I have never heare about it in this combo.
