Hi Elizabeth,
I called up Janssen (maker of the duragesic patch) and they didn't have any documentation saying not to do the patch with an MAOI. They did say that the dose of the MAOI may need to be adjusted, but I think that may have to do with hypertension.
I am still disappointed on my results with the durgesic patch. I do feel that I may not be absorbing it as well as I did the oxycontin or bupe, because the depression is still lingering significantly and I am up to 125mcg.
This is my third day on effexor (12.5mg); tomorrow I go up to 25mg. The good news is that I haven't throw it up like I did years ago. Now I just have to see if it actually helps.
Take care,
Shelli
