Agreed.
Currently, I am taking a combination of Parnate and nortriptyline. It is contraindicated, but not illegal in the USA.
The main drugs to stay away from are those that inhibit the reuptake of serotonin (SRIs). Serotonin releasers might cause reactions too. Methamphetamine is an example of this. Serotonin syndrome is the reaction to be avoided with these.
Drugs that act as NE mimetics (agonists) are to be avoided. These would include pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine - drugs that are used as decongestants.
