I have done a bit of "experimenting" myself. In the morning I had 4mg of Edronax and 30mg of Parnate and another 4mg of Edronax at night. I experienced a frontal headache, tachycardia and a bit of restlessness and a slight blood pressure drop. I don't know if that was a result of the fact that I accidentally had blue cheese (which I forgot was contraindicated) and whether my headache is a result of the fact that I have a bit of a cold. I will keep taking the same doses but so far I think it is quite safe. (I have actually had severe serotonin toxicity twice resulting in a coma so I am very careful). I'll report to you soon!
I did manage to find one of those preview text books on google in which I psychiatrist in America states that he gives his patients reboxetine and parnate (if the patients can get hold of reboxetine in America - I don't think it is approved yet though I have to check, maybe thats why there is little research done on the combination of the two classes).
Cheers
Britney
