Well deprenyl, while primarily an MAO-B inhibitor, also inhibits MAO-A, particularly at doses above 10 mg. So this would explain an SSRI + deprenyl reaction.

To the original poster, I would be cautious about combining an SSRI + ephedrine, and start with a small dose to see how your body reacts - but in general, SSRI + ephedrine should be a safe combination. And you should always be cautious when using ephedrine, SSRI or not.
