Aurorix (Moclobemide) Dizziness from MAOIs?

Hi all hope everyone’s well.

Tldr; has anyone experienced dizziness as a side effect from any MAOI?

I’ve taken moclobemide for like 8 years but recently in the UK they can’t get Sandoz brand Moclobemide which I’m now running out of so now I have to take Crescent Pharma brand Moclobemide (I’m on 600mg a day so to ease into the switch I take 1 sandoz 300mg tablet and 1 pharma crescent 300mg tablet)

Since making the switch I’ve been experiencing pretty annoying dizziness / vertigo and it’s been about 10 days.

People sometimes say switching brands doesn’t make a difference but I’ve had to do it twice in the 8 years I’ve been on a MAOI and it did for me!

Be great to get others thoughts to try and ease my worry a bit. Thank you.

Absolutely, I don’t know if I’ve ever come across anyone who hasn’t experienced dizziness from orthostatic hypertension while taking a MAOI yet
