> I am fighting a bout of pneumonia and clarithromycin is the exact antibiotic I am not on (changed from ampicillin). This is why I bring this up...something feels different about nardil since Ive begun this antibiotic. I'm thinking along the lines of mild withdrawal effects as my muscle tension has increased alot since starting the antibiotic. I know the illness itself will increase tension but now it's easing up and I am still left with nasty tension that wasnt there prior to the antibiotic. Perhaps just coincidence.

As for antibiotics, there are about 50 of them on the market give or take, so if you have a need, I would be up front with the prescribing doctor that you are taking an MAOI (Nardil). Most likely none of them will have any major interaction but you never know, so its always important to mention any medication you are taking.
