>Diphenhydramine is safe.
I've read reports to the contrary, and the patient information leaflet 'Nytol One-a-Night' (diphenhydramine 50mg) clearly warns against concomitant use with MAOIs.
>Cyproheptadine can be used to treat serotonin syndrome.
Yes, due to its 5-HT2 antagonism; but Piriton (I guess you were thinking of Periactin?) isn't cyproheptidine, it's chlorpheniramine, which is contraindicated with MAOIs for the reason I stated.
>Those are the big ones to watch out for, aside from centrally-acting decongestants.
I thought these were more likely to cause hypertensive crises than serotonin syndrome?
I agree especially with most of the points in your first post to the thread. I'll reply in more detail soon.
