Hi Rick.
Ed will probably double check his sources, but I have always found his input to be amazingly broad and accurate. He is fallable, but his track record is quite good - better than mine, anyway.
Just as with the advice coming from Babblers, one must scrutinize the writings of others to be found elsewhere. Almost every drug manufacturer will stay away from endorsing the use of their products in combination with MAOIs, even if no untoward events have been reported. Of course, it is better to err on the side of caution with MAOIs. My *guess* is that some of the side effects of albuterol might increase, but that the combination otherwise safe.
My recent treatments have included a combination of Parnate (tranylcypromine), nortriptyline, and Focalin (dexmethylphenidate). I was able to discontinue the Focalin once my dosage of Parnate was increased to 100 mg/day.
What about trying a beclomethazone inhaler? It is a corticosteroid that does not interact with MAOIs.
