Phenelzine

Phenelzine is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called MAO inhibitors (monoamine oxidase inhibitors). It is used to treat symptoms of depression, such as feelings of sadness, worthlessness, or guilt, and changes in sleep or appetite. Phenelzine works by increasing the levels of certain substances in the brain, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, which are thought to improve mood and emotional well-being. It is typically prescribed when other antidepressant medications have not been effective.
