> JudyKristine, Judy's right. It is an MAO Inhibitor, but lacks the dietary restrictions of other MAOIs. I took a one day roundtrip to Canada to get some. Some drugs actually plunge me into deeper depression within hours. Moclobemide was one of them. At the top of the page, click on "tips", then go down and push the Search button, then scroll through all the topics and I believe there are some doctor discussions on Moclobemide that might help. And Judy's suggestion of a search will lead you to lots of info. Where do you live? Are you considering trying Moclobemide? JohnL.
