Roxanne - I don't know the answer to your question specifically, but I can tell you many of the drug interaction warnings you'll see don't distinguish between MAO-A and MAO-B. So far, everytime we've seen the "don't take with MAO inhibitors" warning, asking knowledgeable experts about it has resulted in the answer that the warning only applies to MAO-A inhibitors, and doesn't apply to seligiline. I'd suggest a call to your pharmacist first - they're usually the easiest to get in touch with. If you're not satisfied with the answer, call another pharmacist. Eventually you could ask the neuro to look into it, but I'm always more comfortable if I hear it from more than one souce. Margie Swindler << online drug references warn that Remeron could cause a potentially fatal interaction if taken within 14 days of MAOIs. My father is taking Sinemet (25/100 x 3), hydergine (15 mg./day) and selegiline (10 mg./day). The Pact and Giduz article in Neurology talked about giving Remeron to people who were taking carbidopa/levodopa, so I assume that is OK. But what about the selegiline? What could result from taking selegiline with Remeron? (He doesn't want to give up either one.) Serotonin syndrome? Hypertension/stroke (even if selegiline inhibits just MAO type B)? >>
