> Just thought I'd mention why it is dangerous... meperidine (demerol) is an inhibitor of serotonin reuptake. Thus serotonin syndrome can occur with the MAOI + demerol combo.
While Demerol (meperidine) is fatal in combo with Nardil, none of the other narcotic pain meds are - Morphine, Dilauded, Hydrocodone, Codeine. I wonder what the difference is?
I'm on 75mg of Nardil right now and just had surgery. No problems with anesthesia or the Dilauded pain meds. Now I'm on Vicodin and have had no problems with the two.
