    Re: 5 days in with another antidepressant: Moclobemide / Manerix

    Day 16 now.
    I'm not sure how I feel right now. I've felt once or twice that my anxiety might be less but at other times I have felt my anxiety is worse. Overall I think my mood is not great either; frequent thoughts of death/suicide which was not there before starting these meds. I have no intention to follow through but they are still a disturbing distraction. By the way when I say anxiety I really think I mean agitation because I do not get the classic racing heart, sweaty palms, butterflies in the stomach - it is more of a restlessness, frustration, anger, stress, etc.

    I've discovered moclobemide/manerix may cause insomnia if taken too late in the day. I think it may also be causing my blood pressure to increase slightly. I'm keeping an eye on that and will mention it to my Dr next week.

    When I see the Dr I'm not sure if I want to increase the dose, stay as I am or ask for a referral to see a specialist, as I feel I am getting nowhere fast with all these medications I have tried.

    Sorry if all my posts come across as very negative, but it is hard to be positive at the moment.

    I thought I would do an update just for anyone else who may be considering trying this medication and is perhaps searching the forums for information.

    I'm nearing the 6 week mark now and I'm taking 450mg per day.

    Positive: I have more energy, more motivation, better concentration and less physical pain.

    Neutral: Sleep is not great.

    Negative: Still very anxious, agitated with racing thoughts. Struggling especially in social situations which is weird as this medication is supposed to help with social anxiety, not make it worse!

    I'm going to stick with it a bit longer. The doctor has just given me an anti-anxiety medication to hopefully take the edge off. I intend to use it for social situations and in the evenings if I can't slow my thoughts down enough to sleep.

    I hope the anxiety medication may calm me down enough for the moclobemide to start working, if that makes sense.
