Guys, I have realise I have taken a lot of no-nos with Nardil, which are ment to cause serotonin syndrome
ie
Nardil + High dose Lithium (ie 1.250mg)
Nardil + Remeron 30mg
Nardil + Nortriptyline 50mg
Nardil + Tramadol 150mg
some more i forget.I even switched from Anafranil to Nardil after a two day washout, and only suffered a very mild serotonin syndrome....
I feel its all the more reason Amitriptyline will be safe...And Ive now seen quite a few trials of it combine with MAOI, mostly Parnate, with no probs....
Amitriptyline has both AD and anti-ocd properties
tell me what u think!
ace
Nardil- 60
Zyprexa 2.5
Neurontin 900mg
Xanax 2-3mg

How did you go with Nortriptyline, was it good? If there was anything you didn't like about Nort, it will be the same with Amitrip since 100mg of Amitrip is probably going to give you the effect of swallowing atleast 75mg of Nort. I do think Amitrip is a good idea, it might be able to replace some or all of your Zyprexa & Xanax.
Cheers,
Paul.
