I canŽt rememer none of them had posetive respons in these "weake" meds. I have tried it too. But with no success at all. SSRI are proberly mutch better, or the old mao Nardil.

Hello, just a note, I've used moclobemide for
about 5 years now for atypical depression. I only
use half a 150 mg tab. a day. It doesn't get at
the core of the depression, but it gets me out of
bed, prevents the insomniac/hyper episodes I used to
get in the spring and fall, and keeps me from
lapsing into a more severe oversleeping depression
in the winter. I am pleased with what it does
for these more physical-type symptoms. I get mine
from Canada. I wish the US would just approve it
and let doctors and their patients decide what
it's good for. It's a safe drug that does have
its uses.--John
