I didn't think there was dietary restrictions with a normal dosage of moclobemide?
>I apologize. I've spent a little bit of time on Google Scholar reading about moclobemeide. The only reason I am uneducated about it is because it isn't offered in the United States, honestly. I just made a wrong assumption. Amateur hour.
> Long story re: effexor. It has been about 5 years since I was one it. Weaned off after feeling like it wasn't effective anymore and didn't think I needed it. Recently went through/am going through a stressful time like I can't cope, have done everything natural to help myself.
> Effexor comes along with side effects that I would like to avoid if possible. If nothing else works, I will give it another shot. Dr gave me effexor rx with option to look at mocolbemide (I had never heard of it before). Didn't realize that I would have withdrawal effects after only taking it for a week.
Hmm, I guess it's nice to have a malicious, yet effacious, venlafaxine backup. Dizziness, nausea and insomnia occurrs more frequently on moclobemide than on placebo, and I know you have a problem with nausea, or at least gastrointestinal discomfort with modafinil; I hope the same problem doesn't carry over to mocolobemide.
Too bad venlafaxine is not a suggested augmentation agent for moclobemide, have there been any SSRIs that have worked?
I think mianserin would be a fantastic combination with moclobemide.
Go ahead and try the moclobemide now that I have a better understanding of your situation; if you have only negligible benefits, consider mianserin (or the SSRI that has worked best for you in the past, if applicable).
If you do decide to try moclobemide, please share your experience on the forum!
Good luck with your treatment.
