I first took Aurorix ( Moclobemide), Reversible Inhibitor of Mono Amines type A, in early 1990's, and noticed a good effect in terms of well-being, concentrations and sleep.

The first week I took it, it gave me feeling unrest, insomnia, headache, but after a couple of weeks on it, I noticed an improvement ( the Psychiatrist upped the dose to 300mg in the morning after food, and 150mg around 2pm after food, it has a reason why it should be taken after food, as the tyramine in food requires the Amines to oxidise it, thus consuming moclobemide after food, especially with some amount of fatty acids in the food, it would less likely cause an increase of the amount of tyramine in the body system, then the hypertensive effect would even be lessened ). Furthermore, Aurorix has a short half-life, 2 hours, but to restore the Mono Amines completely it takes about 24 hours.

Then years later, came the generic forms of Moclobemide, here in Australia, there are about 3 of them. When I switched to the generic form, one after the other, I got different effect from them. ( It may be psychological effect, or maybe the binding agents and other innert substances in the generic forms, i don't know.....)

I just felt, it worked a bit different to me. Maybe anyone ever experience the same feeling? ( ...with all generic forms of different medications ?)

All I know, everyone's body metabolism is different to one another. This is just my experience from using different generics...with every medication i tried.
