In reply to Low dose dexedrine contra. with nardil?, posted by jonh kimble on September 12, 2005, at 15:36:16
In most cases, the dangers are markedly exaggerated. I have taken oral methamphetamine (15mg doses approximately) on 200mg tranylcypromine without incident. I have taken 60-80mg MDMA along with high-dose Parnate as well, and all I experienced were good effects. As a matter of fact, due to their greater peripheral activity, decongestants (ephedrine, PPA, etc) are way more dangerous than amphetamine/methylphenidate/cocaine along with an MAOI.
The reason the contraindications are there IMHO are because the amount of amphetamine someone can take before they have an adverse reaction varies widely. Simply apply appropriate caution, start low, go slow, and have some nifedipine, clonidine, or phentolamine around, and you'll be fine.
