In reply to Doin a lil better here in Germany. Schizo-affectiv, posted by Lamdage22 on July 5, 2013, at 13:56:31
From what I have observed, a dosage of Seroquel of 400 mg/day is often the minimum necessary to receive maximum benefit for treating psychosis, delusions, and anxiety in schizoaffective disorder.
From what I have observed, moclobemide is far less effective than the irreversible MAOIs, and significantly less effective than reuptake inhibitors. If you do not respond well to moclobemide, you may still respond to Parnate or Nardil. A great many people feel better on moclobemide early in treatment - often in the first week. However, the improvement generally does not last, despite increasing the dosage to 1200 mg/day. Of course, you might be fortunate enough to respond to moclobemide. I have to believe that there are people who do. I just don't know of any.
Because the side effect profile of moclobemide is so favorable, you might want to try it before moving on to Parnate or Nardil. However, if you get up to 900 mg/day of moclobemide and can't get an antidepressant response to "stick", I would not wait any more than two or three weeks before switching to another drug.
