> > The story goes that, around the time that the mfr. wanted to market it in the U.S., the SSRIs had hit the scene and were becoming very popular. So the Moc. mfr. tried to have it marketed for social phobia instead of depression but quit the idea after they found out how much it would cost them to get the procedures done for the Food and Drug Admin. (FDA). Some B.S. like that.
I spoke to the overseer of the US moclobemide project some years ago just as it was abandoned. He said that the clinical studies undertaken to get FDA approval for social phobia failed to demonstrate efficacy. It was not a money issue.
