"S-ADENOSYL METHIONINE (SAM-E) may interact with PHENELZINE (in Nardil)
Although the exact causes of this potential interaction are not understood, s-adenosyl methionine (SAM-e) contains substances with antidepressant effects. When it is used with an antidepressant drug, like phenelzine, effects may be increased, decreased, or erratic. In general, it is not advised to take phenelzine at the same time as s-adenosyl methionine (SAM-e) or any other herbal supplement. Inform your doctor before taking s-adenosyl methionine (SAM-e) whether or not you take prescription drugs. Discuss this potential interaction with your healthcare provider at your next appointment, or sooner if you think you are having problems.
This interaction is poorly documented and is considered moderate in severity."
