Uses
Moclobemide as a drug is used to treat major depression and social anxiety. It is a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAOI) that acts on the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine for control of mood swings. This drug has the added benefit of eliminating many of the side effects of other MAOIs like high blood pressure, brain damage, liver damage, and increases in body temperature. What this drug does is to prevent the break down of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine that help to elevate mood, improve ill-being feelings, decrease exhaustion, improve concentration deficits and sleeplessness. The antidepressant effects of this drug can be seen within the first week of treatment. As moclobemide has no sedative action, patients with suicidal thoughts should take a sedative treatment at the same time.
