In reply to Starting Moclobemide - What to expect?, posted by k23d on December 18, 2002, at 2:08:09
> Hey All,
>
> I'm starting moclobemide for moderate social anxiety, low energy levels and some supposed depression. I'm starting at 150mg morning, 150mg lunch and quickly titrating the morning to 300 if tolerable.
>
> What can I expect in the way of side effects in the first few days? (I've read the inserts etc but wondering about others experiences.)
>
> Specifically I'm curious as to whether I'm going to get the same panic paxil and effexor gave me and whether it's going to give me that drugged up pupil dilation thing. If so I'm going to have to start on a weekend due to work.
>
> Also, anyone got a success story to share with this drug? Seems most old posts are fairly negative...
>
> FYI- I also take bromazepam 1.5mg bid also (low dose but hey, it's better than nothing)
> Currently on Remeron 30mg that will be stopped prior to the moclobemide.

> Thanks in advance.>I can't offer any info about your new med. but have a question regarding your reaction to paxil...you mentioned it caused panic when you took it. Same for me...and it was prescribed for my panic disorder. The long and short of it has been that 6 months after stopping the paxil I still have lots of anxiety, which I never had before (I just had panic attacks that had become more frequent). I'm taking xanax which has probably saved my life, but I'm still not back to my pre-paxil self. How long did the effects last for you. Anyone out there had the anxiety thing seemingly become permenant? To be honest, I'd go back to the frequent panic attacks if I could. The way I feel now is so irritating. It's not mental worrying,its just the physical anxiety/agitation. Suggestions or similar experiences?
