Yes !!!I thought I was the only one to experience this. I didn't want to post anything about it as not to dissuade anyone from trying it. Moclobemide made me feel worse than I ever have before of since. Thank God it has such a short half-live. Things got better within two days after discontinuation.
I have one thought as to why it happened. I came across an abstract which concluded that moclobemide causes depletion of dopamine stores in certain areas of the brain. I don't remember which ones, but I believe they were limbic. I may go back to see if I can find it. For a long time I have suspected that my particular illness involves dopamine activity. This paper added another log to the fire.
Thanks a lot for the post.
I'm relieved to know that I wasn't the only one.
