> I've been following this discussion since I'm going to start Moclobemide next week. From what I've read, perhaps there is just a small minority of patients for whom Moclobemide produces problem side effects.
> I would like to know from any of you who have had success with Moclobemide-- when is the best time of day to take it- (only 150 mg.) after breakfast , lunch, or dinner? Obviously, if insomnia is a potential side effect, it would seem to be best after breakfast or lunch.. Please let me know your experiences about this and if insomnia was a problem for you. Thanx!I have taken Moclobemide up to 900mg/day and would have to say it's the most tolerable drug I've ever been on. As a bonus, it lowered my blood pressure and enhanced all things sexual. Insomnia was never a major problem, and certainly not at 150mg. The downside, unfortunately, is that it's not a very potent drug and ultimately proved ineffective for my depression and anxiety. This is the opinion shared by many in the field, and I know the majority of posts in the archives here support that reputation. However, there are success stories sprinkled here and there and you very well could become one of them. It's a wonderful drug to try, and you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Good Luck!
