DLPA and MAOI's is this a safe combo?

Posted by TylerJ on February 13, 2006, at 10:47:20

I'm very interested in taking DLPA - But I have heard conflicting reports concerning taking it with MAOI's. Some say YES and others say NO. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you!

"People who are using Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor Anti-Depressants should not use Phenylalanine supplements (as this combination increases the risk of Hypertension)".

Hi Ty

I don't know of any actual evidence that DLPA has a serious interaction with MAOIs, despite the claims which are often made.

I've always seen DLPA contraindicated with Parnate. I wouldn't advise anyone take DLPA with any MAOI drug.

"Hypertension patients are advised NOT to consume supplemental Phenylalanine (due to the fact that it may further elevate Blood Pressure)

People who are using Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor Anti-Depressants should not use Phenylalanine supplements (as this combination increases the risk of Hypertension)."
