> If I had had blind faith in my pdoc I could have had a hypertensive crisis or maybe even be dead. I asked him about trying ENSAM he had no trouble with prescribing it for me. Said the drug reps hadn't been there yet. but he said he would give me a script then. Said to take my luvox cut in in half then start the ENSAM with no washout period. My pdoc said this. Thanks to ED_UK I learned there is a washout of two weeks just like parnate or nardil. Had I done what he prescribed I could have had a hypertensive crisis or even be dead. Glad for the knowledge I've gained here. Don't worry he will hear about it as my next appointment. Shouldn't he know about a drug before prescribinging it? Love Phillipa ps hopefully the pharmacy would have known and glad I am waiting for further responses.
Some Pdoc's totally blow me away with their lack of knowledge about maoi's..among other things. Many people here know a lot more about maoi's then some pdoc's. I'm so glad you checked with Ed before starting the patch, your doc needs to be told...let him have it Jan! :) I do think you pharmacist would have caught this error, but you never know. When it comes to maoi's a mistake like this could be fatal...always be extra cautious, checking things out like you have been is good.
Love, Monte
