I second that. Reversible/selective MAOI's are a nice idea, but they don't appear to be very good AD's.

I'm not sure moclobemide should be there at all, actually. It does not have a good track record, and has gone into disuse in many parts of the world. In its place, I would recommend instead the irreversible MAOIs like Parnate and Nardil. Their effectiveness in otherwise treatment-resistant patients is well established.
