I was on Moclobemide for about six weeks. Although it helped with some things, I could never get rid of a sense of "depersonalization" while I was taking it. It just felt like there was a layer of something I didn't like between me and the rest of the world. It was a kind of harsh, buzzy feeling. I didn't know what to call it until my doctor read me straight from some source that depersonalization is one of the main side effects of Moclobemide. Of course he didn't mention it until I experienced it (which I guess was smart on his part--in case I never did). In any event, it did not get better over time and I felt much better as soon as it was out of my system. Also, I had some cognitive difficulty on it-- my synapses just didn't seem to be firing well. I was in school and trying to learn things and couldn't follow simple steps without repeating them a hundred times. Yes, you may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms from (Effexor?), but I definitely had side effects from Moclobemide.
