If you ever do go back on an MAOI it's important that staff know that serotonin syndrome is also a possibility with some meds used in an emergency situation, as well as hypertensive crisis. The contraindicated opiates are dangerous because they're mild serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It might be worthwhile pointing out that morphine and codeine (and diamorphine if it's used where you live) are safe alternatives to drugs like pethidine and tramadol, because most drug references don't make that distinction. Also, that serotonin syndrome can be treated with cyproheptadine in people taking MAOIs. Sometimes I think we need a small pamphlet, there's so much information they need to know and most drug references don't cover it thoroughly.
