>Really to everyone, especially Anthony and anyone else taking adrafinil with an MAOI. I had a seratonin reaction early this evening with nardil and adrafinil. I was feeling let down at about 4 o'clock after a good morning and afternoon, so I took another 3mg of adrafinil. My pulse went way down, my back and shoulders stiffened. I rushed to the pharmacy up the street and my blood pressure, which is usually no higher than 110/68 was up to 161/47. Pulse was 60 (usually 80s for me). 161 is not that high, but very high for me. I don't know why the systolic (?) was lower than usual. I talked to the pharmacist, took my blood pressure again and it was down to 108 after about 15 minutes. So I think I was not as careful as I should have been. Just a warning; there may be a risk. In 20 years I have never before had a reaction to a combination with nardil and I never watch what I eat from the list. Shellie
