> I'm in Vancouver also.Hi Brad. I live in Maine and went to Canada once to get Moclobemide. It is supposedly good for all kinds of depressions, with fewer side effects (as you've already noticed) than SSRIs or other MAOIs. It plunged me into a deep profound suicidal fall at just 75mg, so after 2 days was discontinued. I think that was a very rare reaction. Most people do very well with it. The Canadian doc was excellent. He said higher doses are best, even higher than max if needed. He also said nearly any other AD drug can be added to it in small quantities if needed. USA is missing out on a good drug. Glad you have the choice and you're off to a good start. Here's wishing your best days of the past are your worst days in the future. :) JohnL
