> Why?
When one is taking a MAOI, just sniffing a SRI will produce serotonin toxicity (syndrome). This is the opinion of the overwhelming majority of people in the field. Clomipramine is as potent a serotonin reuptake inhibitor as the SSRIs are; having a Ki of less than 1.0 nM. There is no safe dosage.
My experiment with Parnate and Effexor has me convinced of the danger of combining these drugs. Adding a tiny piece of a 75mg IR tablet to Parnate was enough to pin me to my bed with muscle rigidity and being altered to the point of incoherence. This episode lasted for about an hour. I had chosen Effexor because of its short half-life. Unfortunately, my parents had to witness this. When I gained sufficient coherence, I asked them to take my body temperature. Fortunately, it was only about a degree higher than it usually is. I don't recall sweating.
I was desperate.
