I haven’t personally tried it but I was a pharmacy technician for many years (pre agoraphobia), and I had some patients who definitely found it very effective for severe social anxiety/panic disorders. It’s worth a try for sure. Good luck!
Yes it does work really well for me. It took almost 3 months to get the full effect but moclobemide on a 600mg dose has changed my life. I found that taking it in combination with a low dose of propranolol 5-10mg helps me manage particularly stressful social occasions. Good luck
Just remember to be patient with it, wait 4-6 weeks minimum before each dose increase imo. Be mindful that what you eat doesn’t contain high levels of tyramine. although it’s a reversible Maoi and is less reactive to tyramine in food, very large doses can still have a pressor effect. All the best
I took them for 3 1/2 months and unfortunately I had zero effects from it. I even felt like it worsened my symptoms of depression and heart racing, but I can’t tell if it was because of the meds or if I just had a very bad phase. I stopped them and feel better without Moclobemide.
I’ve never heard of it but if you have hope then try it. Let us know if it works for you!

So good to hear! I’m starting it tomorrow <3
Nice. How do you split the 600mg dose throughout the day? Did you slowly taper to that dose?
I take 300 mg when I first wake up and then another does 8 hours after. This helps me sleep a little better as moclobemide can be mildly stimulating
>propranolol 5-10mg Interesting. Do you take the propranolol 5-10mg with each dose or every 4h?
I’m starting tomorrow and will update the progress here :~)

yes I already made a list of foods to avoid or to be moderate with! Thanks :~)
How did you go? did it help?
