In reply to Help; Is Parnate safe to take with Adderall?, posted by JR Boudreaux on April 27, 2007, at 6:41:20
Not officially safe, my pdoc won't do it, others here have done it without problems, but not recommended to do and most pdocs will not ssanction the combination due to warnings between stimulants and MAOI's.
So the answer is really no unless you find a pdoc that will do it or you risk a reaction doing it on your own. Alot has to do with dosages and no one is really adhering to the seriousness of SE's like hypertension or NMS or TD. My father went into NMS in the ER at Yale (he was given Haldol when on Sinemet for parkinson's, big NO-NO) and the docs there didn't pick up on it, I did probably warding off a fatal outcome. Docs miss the symptoms all the time so the risk is very real between MAOs and other drugs especially stims. Not worth it if you ask me.
