Hey z: Just gotta say I love your handle "z" Very cool. Anyway, I was on moclobemide years ago and it worked really well for my social anxiety and depression. It did take about 6 weeks to work though. I know that's contrary to the above opinions and experience but you know the babble motto "your mileage may vary." I started taking it again in January of this year when my problems returned and were unmanageable. It did not work this time. I don't know if it's stubborn but it sure is finicky. I was on it for almost 3 years but I took 600mgs a day. 300 seems like a low dose to me. I've heard that some people take 900 mgs a day and that works for them. Give it a little time but increasing the dose may help. It didn't cause me any trouble in the side effects dept either. A little nausea for the first week but then it went away. I think with moclobemide, more is better but it's always up to you. Just my experience, hope it helps.---Tina
> I've read that if moclobemide is going to work for you it will do so very quickly. It worked for me in 3 days, but (here's the rub) stopped working quite quickly too. Latest ideas are that bigger doses should be given. It didn't have side effects though
