The operative phrase here is "many other experienced Pdocs". Given the easy availability of various amphetemines in almost any nightclub in America it is the absolute height of irresponsibility for someone to suggest this to a stranger. A properly documented suggestion for house to discuss with her doctor is appropriate; A casual remark that Adderall is just fine with Nardil is an invitation to get somebody killed by encouraging unsupervised experimentation.
You don't know who you're talking to on this or any other psych board and you have no clue how sick they may be or HOW IMPAIRED THIER JUDGEMENT IS! You don't know what her history is or if this is someone who'll just figure a couple of Sudafed, or maybe some crank bought on the corner will work just as well.
Every time you post on a board like this you take on a responsibility not to put bad ideas into the heads of potentially unstable people. All us with psychiatric illness get enough crap from the rest of the world with out such thoughtlessness from our own. Most people want support and shared practical experience, not oneupmanship on psychopharm trivia.Miss Liz
Oh, my own famous fabulous psychopharm guy, who knows Ivan,thinks the Adderall/ Nardil combo is an absurd risk. As a liscenced physician well known for working with MAOIs I think he's well qualified to comment.
