In reply to Parnate Amphetamines, posted by jsarirose on December 10, 2002, at 3:34:52
> I've seen it posted that some people use amphetamines with an MAOI. It's contraindicated, but so are many things that people have tried successfully. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Methylin (Ritalin) or Methylphenidate with Parnate. Not necessarily regularly, but as needed. Has anyone tried this combo?

I took dexedrine w/parnate w/o any problems. But it can be very dangerous - even lethal (can induce a hypertensive crisis). If you do try it, you should make sure you check w/your doc, & keep an eye on blood pressure, etc.Check out depressioncentral.com - if I remember correctly, dr. Ivan has something on how he's used it successfully in some treatment resistant cases.
