List of Antidepressants - Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs)

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs)

• Isocarboxazid (Marplan)
• Moclobemide (Aurorix, Manerix)
• Phenelzine (Nardil)
• Pirlindole (Pirazidol)
• Selegiline (Eldepryl, Zelapar, Emsam)
• Tranylcypromine (Parnate)

Serious and potentially fatal adverse reactions may occur with concurrent use of other antidepressants including SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, nefazodone (Serzone), and trazodone (Desyrel), as well as other medications such as amphetamine (Adderall, Dexedrine), methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta), carbamazepine (Tegretol), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), and many others.

Also similar potentially fatal reactions can occur with recreational drugs such as methamphetamine and MDMA (Ecstasy), the AIDS drug ritonavir (Norvir), and high amounts of certain food products containing tyramine such as cheese, meat, and beer.

Moclobemide is a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (RIMA), which in practice means that it is somewhat less problematic with dietary restrictions and drug interactions.
