> thank you ma'm. Anybody have any idea why they are not available in the US? I"m not particularly overly enthusiastic about RIMA's, but it would definetely be worth a shot just like all other meds.
Moclobemide could not get approved in the US because clinical trials conducted there did not demonstrate efficacy, even when tested for social phobia. Moclobemide fell into relative disuse around the world for perceived lack of efficacy. My guess is that the other RIMA drugs that had been in various stages of development were abandoned for this reason.
