Thanks for your post.
That's basically what I've found too.
An interesting distinction being made here: "direct-acting" sympathomimetics (i.e. albuterol, salmeterol which are deemed maybe OK w. MAOI's), vs. "indirect-acting" ones (i.e. amphetamines et. al., deemed definitely not OK w. MAOI's).
A side issue here for me is, I feel pressured by my pdoc to try the EMSAM, as I know he wants me to be his "EMSAM poster boy" (and wants to help me too). I don't want to say no, but then, I don't want a cerebral aneurysm either!
Your input is much appreciated.
