Food restrictions are not an absolute but a guide

Posted by Tony P on January 25, 2008, at 20:54:53

You're quite right, I do tend to play my own game and trust my knowledge a little too much. All my regular meds (including OTC) have been discussed with my MD, pdoc & pharmacist, but it's so easy to make a bad mistake on an OTC. I bought some dextromethorphan cough capsules recently, thinking nothing of it, then at the last minute checked the web and discovered they can interact seriously and even fatally with MAOI's including low-dose selegeline.

My meds that have potential interactions are:
- Selegeline 10 mg/day oral
- Remeron 30 mg/day
- Requip (DA agonist) 1.5 mg / day
- Trimipramine 50-200 mg prn HS (usually 100 mg every few days)

BTW, at least one source I checked said (I think) nortryptilline was one of the more dangerous TCA's to combine with a MAOI. I had been taking it occasionally instead of the trimipramine for sleep as its half-life is much shorter. I shall stop until I've seen a new pdoc & reviewed everything with him.
