Bob, I don't feel that I am the best qualified to answer your questions. There are several people who have a much better handle on this stuff than do I.1. Adam
2. Elizabeth S.
3. The smart lady with the beer bottle glass thing.
4. Anyone else.I should really learn more of the specific details myself. I know some, but not enough. Perhaps we should start a thread regarding contraindicated substances when taking a MAOI. In the meantime, stay away from dental anesthetics that contain epinephrine (there are preparations without it), preparations containing dextromethorphan, and Demerol.
