> I tried Manerix for my OCD/Social Anxiety double combo. (What fun.) I was much brighter, and cognisant than with the SSRI's. It worked well for my social anxiety, I became more a "talker" than the "good listener" I've been. I liked it a lot. However, the lowered sensitivity to rejection that the SSRI's give wasn't enhanced. So I could speak clearer, wasn't shaky, but still ruminated about what people thought. (Bit of a bummer.) Gave me lots of energy too. Unfortunately, it didn't do wonders for my OCD - I had another bad bout when I was on it, and decided to come off. I would recommend anyone with Social Anxiety to give it a try.
Moclobemide has been available in Australia for some time. I have had much success in treating mild depression. The side effects are minimal at a dose of 300-450mg. Zoloft (or other SSRIs) such as Prozac had much greater side effects in comparison. It works for me.
