The problem is that MAOI warnings are all over the place on medications that are quite safe in combination--mostly just to avoid lawsuits than as a result of actual research. MAOIs (and MAOI copharmacy) can and has helped a lot of people but many people are afraid to use them because of the fear-mongering that has been going on since Libby Zion. Yes, they can be dangerous, but I think the best way to avoid complications is through patient education. To the above poster, I'd say this combo is a bad idea.. but I'm glad s/he asked it, how else would they have known?
I feel weird writing this post, I guess your reply just hit a nerve. Please don't take it personally.
