I didn't know clorgyline had those additional effects. The neuroscientists of the past didn't have the technology being used today to have determined these things. It makes you want to throw your hands in the air. So much data, so little understanding.

Moclobemide has a stunning antidepressant effect during the first two weeks of treatment. It is what is called a RIMA - a reversible inhibitor of MAO-A. In the long-term, however, it is usually a dead-end. People get well, but don't stay well. My guess is that this is related to its reversibility. It would be interesting to know if moclobemide has some of the same additional properties you cited for clorgyline
