Hey Everyone,
I performed a pubmed search (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?) on "Serotonin Syndrome Selegiline" and obtained
ten articles. Two articles were case reports concerning an interaction between prozac and selegiline and pamelor and selegiline ... the dose of selegiline were not mentioned. Another article was a chart review which reported 40 incidences of selegiline and an antidepressant were adminstered. One patient who took prozac and selegiline had symtoms consistant with serotonin syndrome. The last article look at 4,568 patients who took the combo ... it stated 11 patient had the reaction and that 2 were "serious" reactions. The authors stated "Available information indicates that serious adverse experiences resulting from the combined use of deprenyl and an antidepressant medication in patients with PD are quite rare and that the frequency of the true 'serotonin syndrome' is even rarer."
