EXCELLENT JUST WHAT I WOULD EXPECT> I initially noticed a significantly increased heart rate, but that seemed to subside after a few days.
YES, THIS WAS ONE OF MY INITIAL CONCERNS, BUT THE TRILEPTAL I BELIEVE COUNTERACTS THIS (with the Reversable effect of the RIMA once it has depleated the mono-amine, the mood stabilizer brings it back in order) AND YOUR POST HIGHLIGHTS THAT TO ME.>I can say the two made me really happy and relaxed.
YES, I THOUGHT THE EXACT THING...BASED ON HOW OTHERS HAVE RELAYED THEIR EXPERIENCES OF THE DRUGS SINGULARLY (also my experience on Moclobemide, made me think it's almost it but somethings missing)>Just a thought, but make sure your cycling isn't just the result of moclobemide going in and out of your system during the day.
I HAVEN"T STARTED ANY PRESCRIPTION DRUG AS YET, BEEN CLEAR FOR 2 YEARS, CYCLING IS DEFINATELY NOT INDUCED BY ANY DRUG IN ME AT MOMENT.>The half-life of MOC is no more than 2 hours. This caused me problems,
VERY SORRY THIS HAPPENED, BUT ALSO A CONCERN I THOUGHT WOULD BE THE CASE. I HAVE CONTEMPLATED USING Brofaromine & Trileptal (SINCE BROFAROMINE iS 100 times more stronger than Moclobemide (with mono-amine A inhibition, and also a stimulant, with mono-amine B inhibitition as well, so better mood too, and has a LIFE OF 12 hours, which was also one of my concerns.(YOUR POST SEEMS TO CONFIRM MY THOUGHTS).>... and I ultimately decided to change to Lexapro. It's unfortunate... if MOC came in extended release, I'd probably still be on it.
CONSIDER WHAT I"VE SAID ABOVE....IF IT MAKES SENSE. LOTS OF READING I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A GOOD COMBINATION, I"M AMAZED NOBODY"S ON IT.Also I have found info of new drug tests and they have been directly correlated with these specific drugs (which only makes me think what i'm contemplation the drug companies are as well). I suspect drug companies are starting to combine mixes like this to bring out new drugs.....smart huh? save money, make millions more. When will we be able to try them, hmmmmmm let's just say George Bush's decision to put someone on Mars would probably come before it.
I'd like to know more on how you go with your combo....thanks :)
