Although I have heard of some patients getting selegiline and an SSRI for Parkinsons, the offical literature is that an SSRI and selegiline are *contraindicated*. Apparently there has been several case reports of serontonin syndrome with the combo of selegiline and SSRI or TCAs.

Yes, they are officially contraindicated but I think the issue is whether that is valid when the dose of selegiline is very low and MAO-B specific.K
