Abstract

AbstractFifteen consecutive cases of moderate and severe depression were treated with moclobemide in recommended dosage and followed for six months. Eleven developed excitatory side effects including agitation, insomnia, restlessness and aggressivity; five patients reported unreality experiences. Subject to confirmation, these findings, together with indications of similar side effects in published studies and in non fatal overdose, raise the possibility that the potential of moclobemide to cause excitation in depressed patients refractory to other treatments may have been hitherto underestimated.
