Why is it so hard to find a definitive YES/NO regarding the interaction of Vicodin and EMSAM patch? My Pdoc is researching it, but pharmacist said "no" and highlighted a 15 page document for me.
I have read all the PB posts about vicodin and maoi, but most of the messages just confused me more. ;-)
On a similar note, PDoc rxed low dose of trazodone for insomia and said is would be fine with EMSAM, but pharmacist highligted the above document and was not happy with giving me both.
I had been enjoying remeron (mirtazapine), but that is apparently not good with EMSAM. But isn't it similar to trazodone? Why is one ok and the other not?
Trazodone makes me ill and groggy all day like I have been drinking tequila and I hate it.
Any ideas on why hydrocodone is not ever listed specifically on the OK to take (morphine) vs NO (demerol, tramadol) pain drugs with MAOIs?
And if vicodin is NOT safe, is there a washout period needed before starting EMSAM, like with tramadol?
