In reply to moclobemide for atypical depression, posted by Ines on March 14, 2007, at 17:42:48
the only MAOI my GP will agree to prescribe is moclobemide, although in his opinion it's not a very effective drug. I have chronic atypical depression, some anxiety and some obsessive tendencies (but depression definitely overrides everything else). Does anyone have similar symptoms and positive or negative experiences with moclobemide?
> Thanks! InesI have similar symptoms--chronic atypical depression, with some anxiety and obsessive tendencies. I tried moclobemide about two years ago, and found that it was not very effective, in comparison to other meds, though it had few side-effects for me. I did not, overall, find it useful.
For what it's worth, I think that some MAOi experts would recommend Phenelzine/nardil for anxious, obsessive, atypical depression. Clomipramine seems a very good idea, too, though--I had both those drugs recommended to me on the basis of similar symptoms.
