In reply to MAOIs causing respiratory depression?, posted by uncouth on October 8, 2015, at 14:03:47
Hi.

I don't know the answer to your question. There is no mention of respiratory depression in the Parnate drug label. I have never heard of it as being a side effect of Parnate. I don't doubt that it can happen with high dosages of Nardil, though.
