> The pharmacist told me he looked it up in the two databases they check for interactions- one database showed no interactions, and the other database listed it as having a severe interaction. I then decided to call the same chain of stores, but a different location. Apparently they only checked the one database and told me the medication was safe to take! Aaarghh! That obviously added to my frustration. What I do now is I call several pharmacies, and do research online.
That is frustrating and scary. I tend to rely on Epocrates pretty extensively. That and the PDR. And my own doc, who is at least familiar with MAOIs, as it's not a widely used med anymore.
