In reply to Ketamine treatment for TRD while on an MAOI safe?, posted by dbser on August 22, 2019, at 14:00:31
I haven't done any research but I would say yes that there is (or could be) a contraindication. The issue is that ketamine has some serotonin reuptake inhibition (as well as dopamine) which could cause serotonin syndrome. I'm not sure if the serotonin action of ketamine is large enough to interact, but it could, in theory.
Don't quote me on this, but I'll look around to see if I can find any other info.
