Moclobemide

Hi All.
Well I've seen my very first psychiatrist, and after complaining the first four didn't work, he has put me on a fifth time of medication.

Anyone tried moclobemide? Apparently this one works differently to most other antidepressants (SSRI's). It is an MAOI, so works on a different chemical.

Anyway I've been off my meds for a week, and have to go one more week before I start the new ones. If I go loopy, you know why Wish me luck.

JK.

good luck mr JaffaKiwi

Will watch progress with interest,

Hi JK, good luck with taking Moclobimide. I did take it years ago and remember that it worked for me for a time. As you have mentioned, often we have to try a number of different Antidepressants to find the right one. I haven't taken any Antidepressants (A.Ds) in a long time, however, I realise that I need to start taking them again. I know it sounds trite but life really is short. I want quality of life and suffering the awful effects of depression do not give one quality of life hence the need for A.Ds. JK I hope taking Moclobimide works for you and that you feel better soon. Good luck!
