Hi Rick,Thanks for the info. Good to know that you've been able to use trazadone with low dose selegiline. I think that Larry took 25 mg. of trimipramine with 5 mg. of selegiline without a problem (although trimipramine is supposedly the safest TCA to combine with an MAOI). Ktemene is taking a full 60 mg. of Remeron with 10 mg. of selegiline. I took 5 mg. of selegiline with a small amount of Effexor (37.5 mg. I think) a couple of times but was too afraid to combine them consistently.
