> Yes I would be combining emsam and oxymetazoline(afrin). Did you get the go ahead from you doctor before trying the combo? Do you recall the study?
My doctor told me that she doesn't think it would be a problem, but to use caution. She has, however, had experience with a quite serious MAOI+pseudoephedrine interaction before.
I did a quick search on pubmed and I haven't been able to find the study yet, you may try looking in the PB archives. Oxymetazoline (I believe) is an alpha1 adrenergic agonist, so there is a potential for an interaction.. I wouldn't have used it with an MAOI if I weren't hopelessly addicted to OTC decongestants.
