> For a 2 days I`ve now been taking 150 mg Moclobemide for ADD.
> The first thing I noticed that instead of being sleepless, I got very tired from the med, so instead of taking it in the morning as the doc recommended I`m taking it in the evening.
> Haven`t yet noticed an effect on concentration.
> Does anyone here have experience with Moclobemide and ADD/ADHD? How long does it take to work(I know 2 days are probably too little)I am not a diagnosed ADD patient, my main problems are chronic-atypical depression and social phobia, but I do have some of the symptoms of ADD. (short attention span, distractibility, poor concentration, impulsiveness)
I began 300 mg/day moclobemide two months ago, and it did help with the symptoms I am talking about.
I noticed its effect right away (2 hours after taking the first dose), but quick response to medication is typical of me.
But, I suspect that moclobemide is even working in your case, because it is supposed to be stimulating, not sedating. I suffered from insomnia in first week, and the insomnia still visits me at stressful times. Before, I was a hypersomniac and I never could go through the day without taking a nap.
