> Any stim with MAOI needs to be very carefully monitored- and the dose of stimulant would be much lower than one would use without the MAOI. Not at all a hot idea to be haphazard about it. You could end up with a hypertensive crisis this way.
I took 20 mg dexedrine w/Parnate (40 mg, I think). Same as my usual dose of dexedrine. They can be taken together, but you do have to be very carefull, especially when starting it - it can cause a hypertensive crisis, (as you noted) which can be lethal....But it can be done, albiet w/a great deal of caution. Though I'd assume that not everyone would be able to take them together... you know - the old YMMV adage.
