In reply to Why no DXM with a maoi?, posted by medievil on December 26, 2006, at 3:33:46
> is it because of serotonin syndrome? cant i add in dxm very slowly (for its anti NMDA properties)
Yes SS Syndrome here is VERY real,and this is one interaction very much WARRENTED.
Aside from imiprimine,this drug almost killed me,when i made the mistake of using it while on a Maoi,these were the things i noticed....
I started to trip,i seen worms appearing around me,little white ones
I couldent sleep,when i closed my eyes,color patterns emerged like the media play of WINDOWS,very scary.
Then the more dangerous symptoms.....
My teeth began to chatter,like i was cold,i couldent stop it.
My body twitched.
My legs twitched quite badly.
I truly felt had i taken more of DXM id had put myself in ER,if i was lucky,.....meaning the possability of DEATH wasnt a far thought.
ALSO JUST FYI,but we lost a member here due to the use of dxm,this and aspirin brought him to his passing.DXM is a very scary substance,def one to avoid while on a Maoi,the high even is not,NOT PLEASEANT,and its just very dangerous!
