In reply to Moclobemide hope?, posted by sabre on October 5, 2004, at 4:25:10
Please continue to post about this drug. Maybe you could do a daily or just weekly update on how you are doing. So far on this site, people have claimed that it is not a very affective AD, but I am curious about possibly trying it myself someday in the future. Apparently this drug has virtually no side effects, but for some people no efficacy either.
I think the reason you are kind of crashing in the evening is because moclobemide has a short half life. In other words, you have to take this drug twice a day. I have heard for some people they need to take the second dose as early as lunch or early afternoon or they will have insomnia. Others can take it at dinner and be OK.
Do you have problems with anxiety? I do and more than just GAD, I get very intense physical anxiety. I have heard that moclobemide can be activating so I'm worried it might make anxiety worse (?) I have no information to base this on, however, it is just a concern.
Thanks for posting and please keep us updated!!
