Re: Antidepressant-MAOI
HI Mary, You should not be taking eldepryl if you are taking (another) MAOI.. It theoretically might improve your PD. There are all sorts of warnings with MAOI antidepressants regarding foods and other medicines. I used to give my patients these warnings faithfully and while most of them as well as me were worried about problems I had no one develop a serious problem. But most followed the instructions to the letter. MAOI's are extremely useful drugs for certain depressions and panic disorder and as long as the psychiatrist checks the drug interactions carefully it should be safe Mary Legan wrote: > My psychiatrist wants to change me from Paxil to an MAOI, Nardil or Parnate, I > think. I've read these can be a problem for PWP.
