In reply to Re: Anyone had success with Moclobemide for anxiet, posted by Quintal on May 23, 2008, at 9:27:21
> No, it's not a very effective drug at all. It doesn't seem very wise to combine it with 600mg venlafaxine either, but let's hope your pdoc knows what he's doing. It tends to cause quite a bit of anxiety and agitation at first, so watch out for that. I can think of much better non-benzo anxiolytics than moclobemide.

> QIf you wouldn't mind, could you give me an idea on what are the good non-benzo anxiolytics. I've yet to find one, but my use has been restricted to the SSRI/NRI camp. I've had some success with Effexor, and I stress the word some, but I don't find it capable of replacing my benzo, even though my benzo seems to be wearing thin after 15+ years of use.
My PDoc wants to try one of the AP's, specifically Seroquel, but I'm not jumping on board that train at the present time. Perhaps you could convince me otherwise.
I've heard Stablon is good for anxiety, but I'm in Canada, and I don't believe it's available.
