In reply to Moclobemide, really works in just 1 week?, posted by adamie on November 16, 2001, at 19:19:45

Let me preface this by saying that I react oddly to meds. But I felt Moclobemide within the first 3 days. My pdoc assumed that would happen. It has a stimulating effect for me. I liked it but became too anxious on it and could figure out what to do about the anxiety so I stopped using it. May go back to it if I can figure out how to control the anxiety part of the equation.

Good luck.

> Hi. I decided to stop taking my Moclobemide then I changed my mind once again and I'll try to complete a "trial". I am so far 3 days on it. first day I took only 150mg. The last two days I took 300mg and I will be soon taking 450mg and raising to 600mg. Does Moclobemide really work in just 1 week for many people? So far all AD's I've tried have somehow made my depression worse. Some to the point of constant mind torture because I didn't stop them in time. Once I ended up in the hospital. Unless I am convinced I am becoming worse by taking the Moclobemide then I will continue taking it. How long would the usual Moclobemide trial last? I am suffering from sometimes very severe depression which may have atypical features. Also some have told me that perhaps since AD's make me worse that I may be bipolar. Very possible.

For severe depression would 300mg be enough or should I go with 450-600mg? The family doctor who of course doesn't know a whole lot about AD's told me to take 150mg twice daily. But I have read how 450mg+ is needed for severe depression.
