low dose selegeline + stimulant +ssri

Posted by LongRoad on March 3, 2010, at 23:55:13

Currently, I am taking Vyvanse 50mg and prozac 30 mg. Would a really low dose of Selegeline (1mg a day, i.e.) be dangerous? Could it be beneficial? I spoke to my psych about it and he seems open to exploring it - but I wouldn't mind having anecdotal evidence to consider as well when I see him again to discuss.

Appreciate any responses, thanks.

Generally speaking, it is dangerous to combine a SRI like Prozac or Effexor with a MAOI. Serotonin syndrome can be the result of such combinations. However, I don't know for sure that very low dosages of oral selegiline (Eldepryl) would produce this reaction. Personally, I would be uncomfortable trying it.

It wont be dangerous as in low doses (5mg) deprenyl only inhibits MAOB.
