A. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a class of powerful antidepressant drugs prescribed for the treatment of depression. They are particularly effective in treating atypical depression, and have also shown efficacy in helping people who want to quit smoking. Due to potentially lethal dietary and drug interactions, MAOIs had been reserved as a last line of defense, used only when other classes of antidepressant drugs (for example selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants) have been tried unsuccessfully. Recently, however, a patch form of the drug selegiline, called Emsam, was developed. It was approved for use by the FDA on February 28, 2006.[1] When applied transdermally the drug does not enter the… [cont.]

Is prozac an MAOI inhibitor?
Q. Just concerned b/c I need some cold/flu meds and they warn against mixing those with maoi inhibitors. And I am on prozac. Thanks !
Asked by It's just me - Fri Nov 27 17:17:47 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. No it is a SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Hardly anyone uses MAOI's anymore as they have such bad side effects and the patients have to be careful with using other meds and avoiding certain foods.

What is an MAOI inhibitor?

A. Yep, monoamine oxidase inhibitor as already mentioned. The primary treatment areas are as an anti-depressant (e.g., clorgyline) and anti-Parkinsonism (e.g., selegiline). However, these compounds are both irreversible and can lead to side-effects that have the potential to be life-threatening. Due to their irreversible nature, natural ingestion of sympathomimetic amines like tyramine leads to a build up of nor-adrenaline in the periphery by various displacement mechanisms. This can cause a severe, acute hypertension due to alpha-1 receptor agonism. This is colloquially called the 'Cheese effect' Tyramine is found in foodstuff like mature cheeses and red wine. A reversible MAOI like moclobemide can be displaced by the ingested tyramine… [cont.]

I know that you are scare, I suggest for right now you just try to relax and think about how much better it will be when you see the new psychiatrist, that should help you make it through the next few days 'til the appointment with him/her. Not weaning you off the medication was wrong of him, at least you are back on it. Good Luck, and I promise that it will get better soon, only two weeks and 1 day until everything gets better.

Why do MAOI antidepressants take so long to start working? Specifically Emsam (Selegiline).?
Q. I was prescribed Emsam (Selegiline transdermal patch) for depression ~1 week ago. It is an MAO inhibitor. According to my doc, it could take up to 3 weeks to start working. A study I found online ( shows minimal effects over placebo after one week, but it really doesn't start working until 3-4 weeks or even longer. What is the chemical/physiological reason for this delay?

Robitussin cough and congestion cough syrup question?..?
Q. My wife has bronchitis and she takes regular medication called lexapro, lamictal, and seroquel for bipolar disorder. She recently was told to buy robitussin cough and congestion syrup for her throat. It says on the bottle not to take this with maoi's (monoamine oxidase inhibitor) and certain drugs for depression and psychiatric emotional conditions. the cough syrup is just a cough suppressant and expectorant. is it ok to take this syrup with the medications.
Asked by Tiggerdn - Sat Jan 26 01:11:47 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I am not a doctor but I did some studies with dextromethorphan (the active ingredient in Robitussin DM) in college and would think that it would be ok for her to take any Robitussin formula (or other cough medication) that doesn't have dextromethorphan in it. Dextromethorphan is a narcotic and should definately be avoided while on other medications that mess with your brain chemistry. At the very least. Talk to your pharmacist. They should tell you if there is a direct connection to your question.
