An unusual drug: Pirlindole

Hi,
Pirlindole is a Soviet antidepressant. It *may* be available in Russia, Slovakia, Portugal (Implementor) and Argentina, I'm not entirely sure. Pirlindole is also known as pirasidol, pyrazidole, pirazidol and pyrlindole.
Like moclobemide, pirlindole is a reversible inhibitor of MAO-A... but unlike moclobemide, it also appears to inhibit the reuptake of monoamines (serotonin and possibly norepinephrine as well). I couldn't find any reports of it causing serotonin syndrome.
I looked at past psycho-babble posts but only found one person who'd taken pirlindole. Have you?
Ed.
