Living in Thailand where Parnate is not available, I reasoned that the Moclobemide would probably suit me since I do well on a non-reversible MAOI inhibitor. Moclobemide is a reversible inhibitor (RIMA) so I figured that I stood a good chance of it helping me since the mechanism of action sounded similar. But in reality, the "classic" MAOIs and the RIMAs are very much different. After I started the Moclobemide, I had no side effects at all, but little by litle the depression returned. Even after increasing the dose, my depression and anxiety intensified to the point where I concluded that this stuff was like poison in my brain. My depression was so severe that I was virtually incapacitated. That stuff was horrible for me. At least one other poster had a similar experience--he did well on a non-reversible MAOI, but badly on Moclobemide.
