John - In regards to Manerix™ (moclobemide), when I was researching side effects to make a chart for the pdocs (that didn't just include mainly start-up side effects for SSRIs), I found several older European studies showing higher rates of side effects for the Manerix. The rates were still lower than those of the SSRIs (approx. 8% - 10%), but still significantly higher than the 4% - 5% reported in North American studies.
Like you, I have seen a couple of successes using Manerix in anxiety disorders, but more respond to SSRIs (if they can get through the initial 2 - 4 week increase in anxiety caused by these agents). - Cam
