Heart Failure from MAOI + Stimulant Combo?

Posted by Triss on March 3, 2002, at 15:50:29

My pdoc wants to try adding a stimulant (e.g.
Dexedrine or Ritalin) to my Nardil (an MAOI).
However, my GP is against this combo citing
"lethal ventricular arrythmia" (e.g. sudden death)
as a possible adverse effect. However, I can find
no literature (accessible to the layperson) which
makes any mention of this and therefore I'm
wondering just how frequent or significant the
occurrence of "lethal ventricular arrythmia"
associated with MAOI+stimulant combinations really
is, and thus whether or not I should be concerned
about it.
Is there anyone here who happens to be informed
regarding this topic and who might therefore
clarify this matter for me. Thanks.
