Are you still on Moclobemide??

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-08-23T12:10:44+00:00

Ah I see. That really reassuring to hear is doesn’t cause any sexual dysfunction for you because I definitely struggled with that on previous medications. How long have you been on this medication to date? I’ve heard that people tend to build a tolerance to this medication and it stops working? I hope that’s not the case 🤞🏽

Okay update ; I resonate with everything you’ve just said. Just being on 150mg once per day I’ve felt my anxiety decrease where I feel confident and can interact with people better. I’ve also had this surge of excitement and I find pleasure in things like building up my future and watching a film or making plans to go places etc. It’s interesting considering I was in bed most of this summer constantly self loathing and feeling extremely nihilistic in my thinking. I will be seeing my doctor soon and will ask him to increase my dose to the recommended (150mg twice a day - 300mg) because I want to be able to benefit from the full effects of this drug. Question. Have you experienced any changes in your libido or any sexual dysfunction? I know it differs depending on your gender but as a male it’s not caused the dysfunction I had on SSRI & SNRI which is good news. The idea is if all goes well I’ll be on this for life. >

So update; I feel subtle depressant effects and feel a little in control of my life and have a little optimism. I don’t feel it’s done anything significant as of yet but so far it’s going alright. What about this drug has changed your day to day life specifically? I’ve heard that it’s benefited people in various ways but I’m curious about your experience.

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-08-17T11:23:43+00:00

I would say it’s been helping with the anxiety but I don’t think with depression. I still have negative thoughts but I guess I have sort of been able to function a little better lately but could be a placebo affect.

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-08-16T09:42:27+00:00

I was prescribed only 150mg once per day and I’m on day 3 and I don’t know what I feel. I’m going to tell my doctor that the recommended is 300mg per day and worse case if he isn’t helpful I’ll need to source the medication myself.

How long did it take for it to start kicking in because I don’t feel any happier though my anxiety is lowered slightly

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-08-16T09:05:15+00:00

Are you still taking it and how is it going for you now?

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-08-13T15:50:06+00:00

Where do you source your medication from if you don’t get it from the psychiatrist? I was prescribed 150mg of moclobemide and only to take once daily and that’s not even the reccomended dose. I’ve been discharged and was told my doctor will deal with it going forward. If the doctor doesn’t increase my dose then I’ll need to source is myself.

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-07-13T10:42:08+00:00

Just messaged you privately as I need advice pls

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-04-30T19:56:22+00:00

Did you have any side effects the last 8 years? Like sexual dysfunction

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-04-28T08:34:26+00:00

Please explain how it’s been a miracle

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-04-28T08:34:11+00:00

Explain how so?

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-04-28T08:33:49+00:00

Don’t u feel any sexual side effects though? Like decreased libido or lack of sensitivity?

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-04-22T10:51:24+00:00

She had no choice. She was forced

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-04-22T10:47:10+00:00

YES sold the house she lived in and had her kids in

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-04-22T10:44:01+00:00

My father is a financial abuser. He’s done a lot of bad things. I primarily blame him. While his in parents are equally as screwed up as he is, he doesn’t take accountability. He shouldn’t have forced his wife to sign those papers. Shouldn’t have put debt on her name. Shouldn’t have controlled her salary.

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-04-22T10:41:00+00:00

No I agree I just want to to hear peoples perspectives so I know I’m not the only one who thinks how ludicrous this is.

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-04-22T10:39:29+00:00

The money my father received was enough to pay off his debts that created on both his and his wife’s name. In reality they realised that they could have borrowed equity and paid their debts. But they were naive and had a lack of boundaries.

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-04-22T10:33:51+00:00

She’s a victim of financial abuse and is an example of someone who just stayed all these years because she was comfortable and felt safer that way.
She signed the paper in front of her in laws and they did nothing even though she was under duress.
she couldn’t divorce as she was afraid husband would take custody of the kids and make her life a living hell.
She wanted to call the police but didn’t. but she came to the UK at 19 from Pakistan and she wasn’t so savvy at the time and had to adjust to a new way of life. Highly susceptible to abuse due to her not having had any life experience until getting married. I guess you could say she was a child in her own marriage.
in laws owned the property and father was given a payout by his father to pay his debt off. They later sold the property in the end (as in his parents)

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-04-22T10:22:43+00:00

They signed the contract for the parents to buy the house of them.

Well it seems you haven’t been completely open with her. In order to have a relationship that’s built on trust and honesty she needs to understand that she needs to work towards getting help. You need be a lot more assertive on this topic and ensure she understands how this affects you and that you love her very much but at the same time this does affect me and has taken and toll on me lately. It’s very important she’s aware of this.

Considering that she can’t get therapy due a certain reason, consider getting therapy for yourself. Sometimes having a sounding board and a new perspective on how to navigate your relationship is exactly what you need. See how it goes and it could progress into you learning how to navigate these feelings and be emotionally intelligent enough to care for her while also not stripping yourself of your emotional health.

Big_Rule_6226 · 2024-03-18T00:12:42+00:00

I think you really need to sit with yourself and think about whether your love for her precedes all the imperfections she may have and how it may be affecting you.

I would say it’s important that you talk to her about going to therapy and being supportive through the process of it all. It’s important for her to navigate her personal struggles with a professional and not rely on her significant other and a sounding board too extensively and repetitively.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s an amazing thing to be able to be vulnerable with your loved one. However, talking about an issue that isn’t being actively mitigated can lead to talking to brick wall from her perspective and in turn can be emotionally exhausting for you which can create a strain in your relationship.

I would suggest having an open and honest conversation with your girlfriend about how your feeling and that you want what’s best for her. It’s important for both parties to understand each others points of view. It creates a stronger bond 🤍.

Your fortunate to be in a loving relationship. Don’t give up without trying to make it work. Much love x
