I think the results of ensam as an antidepressant are very mixed. Most doctors believe that it is the MAO-A inhibition that carries the most theraputic benefit in depression.
I think that a lot of patients who try it as an antidepressant find that it has a psychic energizing effect, but does not posess much of a mood brightening effect.
It is also not too wise to use in cases of psychotic depression. It increases the activity of phenlythylamine which is a very strong endogenious amphetamine. Boosting phenyethylamine can produce stereotypical behavior associated with other stimulants.
