> As a former moclobemide user, I had a really tough time tolerating this med beyond a few days. It caused the things you mentioned, and especially raised my aggitation and anger level. I read at the website, http://www.mentalhealth.com , that moclobemide shouldn't be used in 'aggitated' patients. My mood was just really foul, kinda like on Wellbutrin, and I did experience a *tiny* mood lift once in awhile, but I was just so miserable after a few days. I also found even my usual dose off a benzo didn't help at all.

After 10 or so years of trials, that is my conclusion for now. I just thought maybe you had atypical depression with anxiety (and some 'rapid cycling' issues..more along the anxiety lines, though) as we have had similar responses.

Jay thank you for the advice as to what to use in conjunction - I definitely have a natural tendency to become agitated and impatient so that is probably one of the causes of the side effects. It seems after a relaxing weekend that they have subsided somewhat and will see how the week progresses.
