i am about to start taking miclobemide, for panic attacks, chronic depression, ocd and ptsd have you had this?
I am on slow journey, transitional between coming off one medicine to start another one, have you done this?
how did you cope,
i have to half duluxotine for 1 week
then no tablets for 1 week
then half dose of new tablets miclobemide
then after 1 week double dose of miclobemide
i am on the third day of old tablets at half dose and allready the panic attacks are starting, i really dont know how i am going to manage, i also when ever they have tried lowering my dose ended up with suicidal thoughts, so i am worried about this
i have spoken to the psychiatrist about this and he says that suicidal thoughts are different to my mind saying do it, do it, do it
i have a very very supportive husband so in that way i am very lucky
i am ranting a bit now
i am dreading the next month but needed to change tablets mainly due to lack of concentration, but it is going to be the first time for 3 years that i will be having no medication
what about you
thanks for yv
what about you have you had this medicine before, how did you get on with it, how lonng have you been on it for

I started having panic attacks almost 10 years ago. The Doc’s gave me different meds to try to "fix" this problem. They sent me to a shrink and a counselor. They put me on Effexor- the worst thing I’ve ever allowed to be done to me. They were all just band-aids for the problem. Nothing ever fixed it. I Got the Lucinda Basset tapes for panic attacks- did tons of research and finally met a doctor who had a brain!!! She gave me a saliva test for adrenal fatigue. Turns out panic attacks are caused by certain deficiencies in the body such as low Epinephrine, high Cortisol, Doapamine, Serotonin. Tell your doctor to order this test for you. It is the only real way to find out what’s actually wrong so that they can fix it. I swear I think doctors must be taking kick backs from the drug companies so they just keep us medicated instead of trying to fix the real problem and help us.
Test info:
"Neuro Adrenal 1 Profile" test from Neuro Science, Inc. 373 280th street, Osceola, WI 54020 Phone: 1-888-342-7272 http://www.neuroadrenalinc.com
The test consists of 3 small tubes for saliva collection and opne small vial for urine. You take the test from home and then mail back to the lab with the pre-paid postage. They send the results to your doctor, who then should give you a copy. Good luck!! And help spread the word.

Moclobemide is a relatively old antidepressant that is rarely used these days because of the popularity of other drugs. It has been studied and is licenced for the treatment of depression and social anxiety disorder. I’m not sure what effect it might have on your panic attacks, but I very much doubt that it’ll make much difference to your OCD/PTSD. Having said that, an improvement in your mood will lead to an overall effect of you being able to cope with the conditions that you mention more efficiently.
