Larry Hoover said....I respectfully have to disagree with the entire premise you presented. It is a component of informed consent to have been made aware of potentially fatal drug interactions with medications you have been prescribed. You ought to have known about this risk, of MAOI + SSRI = potentially fatal drug interaction. You ought to have been told before you were given access to the MAOI. And, you ought to have been advised to clear out old and left-over meds, returning them to the pharmacy or doctor's office for disposal.

This warning is part of the patient's version of the drug information leaflet, too. Please read those.

I am glad that I did not offend everyone! There are many drugs which can be dangerous at therapeutic doses, in overdose and in combination with certain other drugs. Because psycho-babble is a forum about drugs, I feel that it is very important that we are able to discuss these safety issues.
