> Could you tell me what other MAOI's are as good as moclobemide?
I can't :) The only MAOI's I've tried are the ones I've mentioned. What's cool about this combination and especially moclobemide alone is, you don't have to follow a low tyramine diet. (But, one should be very careful with increasing the selegiline dose).
> I know selegiline is a decent drug, but once again I'm no expert. I would say that those two drugs are far better than the SSRI's. I really need to find out what else they're good for besides depression. What disorders are they not good for?
Moclobemide helped with my hypersomnia (I used to sleep 14 hours a day), apathy, social phobia, and some ADD-like symptoms (lack of concentration, short attention span etc.) I suppose these effects are due to increased NE and DA. The medications that were close were mianserin, mirtazapine and reboxetine, but moclobemide is superior to all for me.
By the way, I am suspecting that I have low testosterone levels, and I will have it checked soon. Could I also have my DHEA levels checked too, and would DHEA help fix the low testosterone levels?Thanks,
