Selegeline and SSRI's

Posted by linkadge on February 14, 2005, at 21:55:38

Will doctors freak out if I suggest taking deprenyl with an SSRI? Is this something that is strictly contraindicated, or is it something that
most doctors will consider trying ??

Ie are doctors taught that the two must not be combined ??

I know that Citalopram and Lexapro which are SSRIs are not contraindicated with up to 10mg Selegiline. Beyond that a risk of interaction between the MAO-A inhibitory effects of high dose selegiline and SSRI can occur.

This what is written on official leaflets here.
