MAOI + Reboxetine + Amisulpride?

Posted by Medline on October 29, 2008, at 8:49:09

My psychiatrist suggested that I start Tranylcypromine treatment. I read that taking noradrenergic TCAs or NARIs and then slowly adding Tranylcypromine is not just safe, but also reduces the likelihod of tyramine-induced hypertension.

Reason (psychotropical.com/maois_full.shtml):

This is because the cheese reaction (potentially catastrophic hypertension) requires that the provoking dietary component (the amino acid tyramine) must first enter the pre-synaptic nerve, from whence it displaces noradrenaline which then mediates the hypertension. Tyramine is actively moved into the pre-synaptic nerve by the very same reuptake mechanism that is blocked by TCAs, which are NRIs.

I also read this on the german website of the manufacturer of Tranylcypromine (Jatrosom.de).

Would you prefer this strategy? My second question is what do you think about adding 50 mg Amisulpride to a MAOI. It is supposed to work as a dopamine releaser in this dose. Any experiences?
