Thanks gardenergirl and djmmm. I think the albuterol situation is going to be a problem. I use it quite often, and the pharmacist had a long talk with me about it today. He agrees that singulair is a viable alternative for the serevent, but he's going to have to do some research on emergency inhalers that might be safe.
On another note, I found it interesting that the pharmacist asked me to do him a favor and start taking fish oil capsules while I'm on the Nardil. He does not prescribe Nardil often (in fact, he told me that his very busy RiteAid store does not have anyone currently taking it besides me), and said he would rest easier if I supplemented the Nardil with the fish oil. While it's not conclusive, I guess fish oil gives a cardiovascular assist, and he figured that the omega-3 depression link couldn't hurt.
Never had a pharmacist take that much of an interest before.
