In reply to Parnate / MAOI and Anaesthesia / Anethesia, posted by GraceR on June 28, 2004, at 14:27:16
Hi Grace,
I was taking Nardil, another MAOI, when I underwent ECT last year...I don't know if you are familiar with ECT, but anesthesia is given to the patient before each treatment. Anyway, I'd imagine that there are many other ECT patients who are on MAOIs...perhaps there is a hospital near you that administers ECT? The anestheseologists there would likely have experience with Parnate and anesthesia - and if not, they might be able to point you in the right direction.
I hope this helps! Good luck.
Merci
