When I took moclobomide I noticed that for me it was
*defitely* pro-sexual and had no adverse side effects
for me.My trial was inadequate because I did sustain my high
dose longer than a week or so. It is very expensive
for me without a prescription.My sense was that I was not responding though. I recall
being disappointed because at that time the only
released studies were *very* positive. I even tried adding
an SSRI to it later, to make it "more like brofaromine" to no
avail. Usually I respond very quickly to meds that work,
in fact I always have. Although I guess I don't know for
sure in cases where I don't stick it out with meds giving
poor results, I did that with some meds (Effexor and Parnate are
examples - Parnate I tried for 4 months), but these meds did little
or no good for me (I could probably augment them now more
appropriately to get a pretty good response, especially Parnate).Anyway - my 2 cents.
