Trima

Trima (Moclobemide) is indicated for social anxiety and depression and it works by affecting chemicals in the brain called monoamine neurotransmitters. This medicine is classified as a reversible monamine oxidase inhibitor (RIMA), and it is able to both reversibly and selectively inhibit the MAO-A isozyme. When administered, it stops monoamine oxidase A from breaking down the chemicals in the brain that can contribute to a positive mood (including dopamine and serotonin). In this way it is able to exhibit its antidepressant effects. Prominent medical researchers have conducted studies on its effects if used for fibromyalgia.

Trima (Moclobemide) comes in tablet form and there are 150mg and 300mg strength varieties available. Your physician will conduct a thorough and full assessment of your disorder and calculate a dosage regimen designed to suit your individual needs. Adults treating depression may be told by their physician to take 300mg per day (as 2 separate doses), and those suffering from social phobia might be instructed (by the physician providing treatment) to take 150mg (twice per day) for a 3 day period, which may then be increased to 300mg twice per day if deemed necessary.

Treatment with the antidepressant Trima (Moclobemide) might cause some patients to experience side effects. Contact your physician to report this. A list containing some examples is given here:

• Vertigo
• Insomnia
• Pins and needles
• Restlessness and irritability
• Digestive disturbances such as diarrhea

As with all medicines, the occurrence of serious side effects during treatment remains a possibility, however it is considered to be somewhat less likely when compared to the more common and mild reactions associated with this medicine. Should you suffer from any signs of a severe reaction, it will be necessary for you to attend the emergency room straight away.

In some cases, patients who suffer from liver problems may need to be given a lower dose of Trima (Moclobemide) so as to prevent complications. Discuss this in more detail with your physician.

You may be told by your physician to take the tablet after eating and with a full glass of water.
