>Hi Jem,
The MAOI's Parnate & Nardil are very good AD's, possibly the best. Moclobemide has a reputation for being an ineffective AD & is only usefull to a handfull of people.
No one seems to know much about the effectiveness of Reboxetine. Mirtazapine & Bupropion are very mild/weak AD's & are more usefull as add-on to other meds. I take Effexor as my AD & Remeron as a sleeping tablet that solves some of the side effects caused by Effexor.
Cheers,
Panda.
