> I believe the warning must come from the potential need for epi-pen in case of anaphylactic shock?

It is, indeed. I haven't any idea of an alternative treatment, if adrenaline/epinephrine is strictly contraindicated.

> Anyone familiar with Emsam and Xopenex?

Only from the literature. The levalbuterol monograph states: "Xopenex Inhalation Solution should be administered with extreme caution to patients being treated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants, or within 2 weeks of discontinuation of such agents, because the action of levalbuterol HCl on the vascular system may be potentiated."
