>According to my data, chlorpromazine is mainly used for MAOI-related complications when rapid intravenous treatment of serotonin toxicity is required. However, for oral, intranasal, or sublingual treatment, cyproheptadine is a better choice due to its higher affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A-receptor, which appears to mediate the most serious consequences of serotonin syndrome.

>Amphetamines have the potential to cause serious hypertensive reactions - including crisis - if taken at excessive doses during MAO-inhibition. However, the combination can be used safely when it is initiated with proper caution. I've heard of doses up to at least 60 mg of dextroamphetamine taken with Nardil (I think it was Nardil, but there's a slight chance that it was Parnate or Marplan).
