> hi. Since all the AD's I've tried made my depression worse and in some cases even caused me to become suicidal I have learned that it may be because I am really bipolar. I am hoping to try a mood stabilizer soon but tomorrow I will be getting moclobemide. Can this reversible MAOI help someone with bipolar disorder? Or just like the usual AD's is it only for depression? I am hoping since it's supossed to work very differently from the usual AD's that I will not suffer from a worsening effect.

Hi Adamie,
I know that feeling of getting worse on an AD. That has happened to me on several ADs. One of the worst in that respect was Moclobemide. Hopefully it will be better for you, but like the other SSRIs you've tried all Moclobemide is going to do is increase that serotonin again, which has always made you feel worse. Just something to ponder.
John
