Hi Meri
>What would you say the main (in real life - not the drug leaflet style!) side effects were?
The most common side effects are flushing, increased sweating, elevated heart rate, dry mouth (usually mild), constipation, insomnia, urinary hesitancy in men and occasionally headaches, drowsiness and dizziness.
My side effects were increased sweating and elevated heart rate. Didn't notice anything else.
>Is it relatively 'safe' drug to take?
Yes, except in people with coronary heart disease because it increases the heart rate. Hepatitis is a rare side effect.
>Anyway how long wash out do I need? Any ideas??
From moclobemide? Two days is fine.
>How does it work exactly?
It is predominantly an NE reuptake inhibitor.
