In reply to moclobemide for atypical depression, posted by Ines on March 14, 2007, at 17:42:48
I took moclobemide for three months back in 2003 and it was useless. It had absolutely no effect at all apart from causing insomnia in the first few weeks. I've heard from others who have used it though and it made their depression much worse with agitation and suicidal thoughts to boot. I've yet to hear anyone claim a good response to it after years of researching. I wouldn't recommend it.
GPs can't prescribe the non-selective, irreversible MAOIs on their license in the UK - you need to see a psychiatrist for that. As another poster has suggested, clomipramine is another med your GP should be willing to prescribe that could be more effective for those problems you are having.
