175mg dosulepin plus low dose MAOI... risky?!

Posted by rovers95 on December 31, 2010, at 1:31:34

Hey, I would like to mix my current dosulepin, (with which I have had partial success) alongside a low dose maoi (nardil or parnate), but is this a big no no because of the risk of seretonin syndrome?!

Thanks (and happy new year!)

Hello.

I think its CONTRAINDICATED (do not mix), but Im not 100% sure on that.
Maybe someone with more experience can confirm this?

Anything that is considered a serotonin reuptake inhibitor is going to be contraindicated with a MAOI. From what I can tell, that tricyclic is a relatively mild drug. I don't know too much about your depression or anxiety, but always think about risk vs reward. For instance, if you have one foot in the grave because of your depression, I am sure you can tolerate riskier strategies that prove to work for you.

 

thanks for the feedback!!

Thanks, I may pursue the mao-b inhibitor selegiline with or without dlpa, as this shouldn't cause seretonin syndrome!

Youre absolutely right.

My foot is always in and out of the grave, so I know what you mean as far as risk vs. reward with the meds.

Let me know how it goes.
