Manerix is the only med I've ever taken that gave me no side effects and worked perfectly for my anxiety disorder. But then again, I'm an idiosyncratic responder.
> John - In regards to Manerix™ (moclobemide), when I was researching side effects to make a chart for the pdocs (that didn't just include mainly start-up side effects for SSRIs), I found several older European studies showing higher rates of side effects for the Manerix. The rates were still lower than those of the SSRIs (approx. 8% - 10%), but still significantly higher than the 4% - 5% reported in North American studies.
