Later, I've tried Lexapro and and a small does of ritalin, but, while the clarity of thought is fine, I am extremely on edge (which isn't a life affirming effect either).
I know there a lots of data out there warning of the dangers of combining an SSRI and an MAO and it certainly is not recommended as a main stream therapy. However, I have read a short study indicated that low doses of celexa and deprenyl combined did not cause an immediate untoward side effects in parkinson patients.
So I was interested in what dose of Lexapro and Deprenyl you were taking? Also are you augmenting the deprenyl with Phenalynine?
Thanks!
