>Is it possible that people slam the drug for not doing anything is because they are expecting a powerful effect like from a irreversible MAOI?

I think it's partly because moclobemide is a relatively 'mild' antidepressant but in spite of this it's normally used after SSRIs and SNRIs have failed rather than the other way around. If it was used as a first-line treatment for moderate depression it might perform OK.

>I am guessing Moclobemide is comparable to SSRIs in efficacy....

I suspect that its efficacy is somewhat less than SSRIs on average. Of course, there are individual differences in response.

>What is the wash out from a short half life drug (1 day or 2)?

What medication are you taking at the moment?
