His only trepidation is that combining Nardil with nortriptyline might produce serotonin syndrome. It is a valid concern, but I doubt it will occur. I am very impatient.

I was on nardil and took some cough suppressant - dextromethorphan which increases serotonin and had full-blown serotonin syndomr within 15 mins. Had to be rushed to teh ER and then stay the night in intensive care - for fear that my kidneys would fail.
