Hi!
>Although I have heard of some patients getting selegiline and an SSRI for Parkinsons, the offical literature is that an SSRI and selegiline are *contraindicated*. Apparently there has been several case reports of serontonin syndrome with the combo of selegiline and SSRI or TCAs.
True, they are 'officially' contra-indicated. There have been reports of *very* serious interactions. Nevertheless, many people have successfully used the combination without problems.
