I know that there are better alternatives, but this one seems to work best for me, in moclobemide-induced insomnia.
But, doesn't "alpha-adrenergic BLOCKING" mean that it antagonizes the action of adrenaline? Shouldn't this cause bradycardia, instead? Or perhaps you are talking about pre-synaptic blocking of the autoreceptors? That would lead to an increase of (nor)adrenaline..
