Hey Angela: I was on moclobemide about 6 years ago for a panic disorder I had then. The psych thought it might be linked to dysthimia or mild depression so she tried me on this "revolutionary" (haha) new drug called Manerix. It worked like a charm then but when I started to get panicky and depressed again a few years later I tried going back on it. The stuff did nothing, nothing whatsoever. Actually, come to think of it, it worsened the depression. I had to take a totally new direction with the meds, went on Celexa. Won't bore you with that subject, suffice it to say that I'm still looking. Anyway, this is just my experience. Same med might work for you, worth a try anyway. Good luck, keep us posted.
> my doctor isn't happy with the results the luvox has dealt me, so i asked him if we could switch back to zoloft. he agreed to it and told me to start titrating down tomorrow & gave me a whole schedule to follow.

> my concern is that the zoloft will not be effective on me anymore. what is the response when you go off a medicine then go back on it? i've been on the luvox for at least 6 weeks and i've gotten a little bit better, but not to the point i was at on zoloft or celexa.
