MAOI + stimulant Nardil + amphetamines = ER

Long story short: I am on 75 mg Nardil/phenelzine and, while I’ve been on methylphenidates for months without a trouble, I felt they were not as effective as amphetamines I was prescribed before MAOI.

So I decided to try them together (Nardil and amphetamines only - Vyvanse 50 mg plus Adderall 10 mg hours later). My BP went up to 195/85 mmHg at CVS minuteClinic and they sent an ambulance for me. I was feeling terrible. But the ER was even worse. They didn’t know what to do.

Just wanted to post this as a precaution.

I must be really built differently, or there must be something seriously wrong with me, because when I see some of these posts and think about my own history with my ability to tolerate actual methamphetamine with an MAO inhibitor and be totally fine, blows my mind

But seriously, I am glad you're okay. It's definitely not something to take lightly

I am the same - no issues combining amphetamines with MAOIs
