Nardil_MAOI + Buspar = Danger or simply suicidal ?

Posted by MARTY on March 23, 2006, at 6:07:49

I'd like to know what people think about risky augmentation strategy while taking a MAOI. (ie. MAOI + Buspar, MAOI + Wellbutrin)

I was on Nardil + Lamictal + Risperdal + Neurontin.

BUT YESTERDAY, with the consent of my YOUNG psychiatrist and my pharmacist, I've took a not so common combinaision..
I have added BUSPAR to my cocktail.

As you probably all know it's described by almost every pertinent MAOI related literature as been a very dangerous / potentially lethal combinaison: because it could lead to a Serotoninergic Syndrome, which statiscally kills 11% of the time.

My objective is to combat the sexual side effects of the Nardil. But as oppose to SSRI, MAOI isn't as easy to match with one of the drugs that are known to help. They are mainly dopaminergics (ie. agonist D1-D2) like Wellbutrin and Dostinex(Cabergoline) or antagonists of the serotinin receptors 5-HT2A/B/C like Buspar and Periactin(cyproheptadine).

I must acknowledge that I am very frightened right now, for obvious reasons.
While swallowing this BusPar pill I really had the feeling that I was playing the Russian roulette. Am I paranoid or just plain stupid ? ...for one of the very few time of my life I feel more like the latter.

Any toughts on this would be appreciate;

(feel free to BabbleMail me)

Wish me luck,
Marty
