> maddogIn "Clinical Advances in Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor Therapies", there's a chart listing moclobemide side effects vs. amitriptyline and placebo. Moclobemide side effects were nearly identical to placebo in some cases, such as dry mouth and sedation, less than placebo in a couple (constipation and tachycardia), but significantly more than placebo in insomnia (~18% vs. ~2%) and gastrointestinal discomfort (~39% vs. 20%). Amitriptyline had brutal dry mouth (~96% vs. <20% on both moclobemide and placebo) and was signficantly more sedating, at about 53% versus about 16% for both placebo and moclobemide.
