In reply to Parnate and Ma Huang(ephedra) together??????, posted by Angel1 on June 4, 2003, at 12:55:10

> I am ready to start Parnate since being weaned down from desipramine. However, I am feeling very lethargic and take ephedra or ma huang for energy even though I realize it has been banned in the U.S. It has never been a problem for me, and now I have the Parnate in my hand and am ready to take one, but am afraid of negative interaction between the two. Please advise.

A one day washout after ephedra should be enough, but once you've started on the Parnate, no more ephedra.

"Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor activity (isocarboxazid [e.g., Marplan], phenelzine [e.g., Nardil], procarbazine [e.g., Matulane], selegiline [e.g., Eldepryl], tranylcypromine [e.g., Parnate])—Taking ephedrine while you are taking or within 2 weeks of taking monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors may increase the effects of MAO inhibitors "
