> Selective reversible MAOIs- e.g. moclobemide.

Hi Sarah.

I don't think moclobemide should be the last in the series of things to try before moving on retrials of previously inadequate drugs + mood stabilizers. I'm not sure moclobemide should be there at all, actually. It does not have a good track record, and has gone into disuse in many parts of the world. In its place, I would recommend instead the irreversible MAOIs like Parnate and Nardil. Their effectiveness in otherwise treatment-resistant patients is well established.
