Can maprotiline be taken with an MAOI?
I've been thinking of taking a small amount of maprotiline (or trimipramine) for anxiety problems until I can start on an MAOI or something else after I talk to my doctor early next year. The Rx lists I've seen all say that you can't take it with an MAOI but they say the same thing for all TCAs and I know that Surmontil can be taken with them in limited amounts.
Also, on the Rx list for maprotiline (and not for trimipramine) it said do not take this if you're on thyroid medication. They had a separate line for hyperthyroid. The Surmontil listing only said don't take if you're hyperthyroid. I am hypothyroid and take medication for that. I have taken maprotiline for years and I'm pretty sure I took it while I was also taking thyroid medication. I only took a small amount of it though. Anyone know why they have that warning on the MAP? Should I be concerned about it?
