> note the following in some of the monographs I have read: "Do not take chlorpheniramine if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A very dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects."

That's because of drug-drug interactions, that's not because clorpheniramine maleate makes a great SSRI. It's not even the best antihistamine but it is average for OTC drug needs.
