> Kara, plese consult a pharmacist before taking selegiline. My understanding is that it can be lethal to take Selegiline and tricyclics, of which doxepin is one. Also certain prescription pain relievers are to be avoided -Demerol being the only one that comes to mind.

> SELEGILINE IS NOT A SUPPLEMENT!!!!!!! It is a prescription drug and the same precautions should be practiced as with other pharmceuticals.I've been taking 10 mg selegiline with trazodone 25 mg for about 2 weeks now. I also take vicodin, officially for a torn rotator cuff but really as an AD, it doesn't help my pain much anymore. It does seem to make the vicodin more potent but maybe it's just my imagination.
I researched this as much as I could, a lot of the technical stuff I don't understand, it seemed there might be a small risk but my doses are pretty low. Anyway I haven't keeled yet but YMMV.
