> I have been doing a lot of research on the web and it seems that moclobemide and adrafinil are the best options for depression/anxiety. This is based on efficacy and low occurance of side effects. Does anyone agree or disagree with this? Amineptine would have been my first choice but the authorities seem to think it is "too effective" in treating depression.
> I currently suffer from depression/anxiety/social phobia. I have tried standard treatments and am very interested in new options. I am going to try these two drugs(not at the same time). Does anyone have experience with these two that they would like to share or perhaps some other recommendations? ThanksIf you search through the pbabble archives, you'll
find a lot of unhappy moclobemide trials.Basically the medicine has a low response rate.
But the side effect profile is quite good.I've seen small writeups from doctors however that
indicated the medication really needed to be pushed over
1000-1200+ mg/day. (The usual recommended dose is 300 mg).It would be interesting to see how people would
respond at the higher strengh, but dunno about
safety.John
