> I would be very wary of mixing an AP, even a new atypical one, with an MAOI. The side effects of either are potentially so serious- hypertensive crisis and serotonin syndrome for the one, irreversible TD for the other- that even if not absolutely contraindicated (I have no idea), it's just asking for neurological disaster.
i felt great on parnate + zyprexa ... i know they are both serious medications... but i don't see a reason to believe that the risks increase when they are taken together
> Seems that 5HT2A by itself just helps with sleep rhythms (isn't that what ritanserin is for?) This can be very helpful for depressed people but I doubt it's enough to remit depression by itself.
i don't know anything about ritanserin ... where did you hear about it's use in sleep rhythms?
