Hi Kara,
>Ed, those who have suffered life-threatening reactions, was it due to poor liver function or not breaking the meds down properly or is the reason just not known?
I don't think the reason was known. I can only guess that some people do get significant inhibition of MAO-A at low doses. Due to the differences in drug metabolism between individuals, some people probably get unusually high serum concentrations from 10mg doses.
