Why do yo say its useless ? Only because it doesent work for you ? There are people with great success on moclobemide (esp. atyp. depression). And the biggest problem is that a lot of pdocs titrate only up to 450-600 mg. My pdoc has used it up to 1200 mg with great results. And it is possible to combine with tricyclics which doesnt affect serotonin too much.
> Moclobemide is pretty useless. I have tried it, and physicians I have spoken with see it as a drug with little effects if any. Of course MAOIs are much more effective.
