> I've tried moclobemide and selegiline... they don't hold a candle to the non-reversible MAOIs IMO.
Selegiline is an irreversible MAO-B inhibitor that inhibits MAO-A at higher doses. It also has amphetamine metabolites
There is an irreversible MAO-A inhibitor, clorgyline, but as far as I'm aware it has never been used clinically.
> Never tried Sonata or Ambien so that might be worth a shot.
I think so.
BTW, the book I referred to in my previous post is _Clinical Advances in Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor Therapies_, Kennedy ed. (1994).
