MAOI would only be an issue in a hypertensive crisis if someone had consumed tyramine. in the case of moclobemide not even an issue. MAOIs if taken with amphetamine at a really high dose maybe you could have serotonin toxicity. And a possible hypertensive crisis can be addressed by giving the patient some nifedipine to keep on hand. Also people on MAOIs generally have failed everything else and as such the risk to benefit ratio is weighed a little differently from someone without treatment resistant depression.
So, apart from amphetamines/methyphenidate, there aren't really contraindications for moclobimide?
Correct?
Also - isn't moclobimide considered particularly potent?
I had read in grazing that, some consider it less so than effexor.
Can that be true?
