In reply to Prozac and low dose Selegiline, posted by Lynne on October 1, 1999, at 9:26:50
Personally, I'd be extremely nervous about mixing these two: MAO inhibitors and SSRIs have been known to cause serious (even fatal) problems when combined--you'd run the risk of a serotonin syndrome or hypertensive crisis. Selegiline is *perhaps* not as dangerous in this way as Nardil or Parnate, but I'd say it's hardly advisable unless you had very good proof otherwise. There must be a safer way to increase your energy level--What does your doctor say? BTW, have you considered taking Prozac in the evening instead?
Best,
jd> Can these two drugs be taken together 20mgs Prozac with 5 mgs of Selegiline? The prozac makes me so tired I thought the Selegiline would give me some energy. Any thoughts?I have not tried this combo yet.
