Hey all,
I decided to stop moclobemide. Excuse me while I pause for everyone to say, "suprise, surprise..." I weighed a bunch of pluses and minuses, and have decided on Lexapro. I was on it very briefly before, and without any major side-effects. It was very helpful when I was trying to stop smoking pot. My reasons for dropping moclobemide are to avoid having to take a pill several times a day, to get insurance coverage, and to take a pill that is smoother throughout the day. I'm very happy with Lexapro on all accounts. It's treating me very well so far. I hope it lasts, and I'm game for any improvements in my quality of life it may give me. So far, I love the stuff!
Fingers crossed,
Jon :)

Thanks! It only continues to get better, and for me, the meds that start well usually end up being keepers.
Fingers still crossed,
Jon :)

I too dropped manerix. I went back on Celexa, but my pdoc now wants me to try effexor. I have one more week of washout and then I will try effexor.
Hopefully we both will have good luck with our new choice.
