Q

pharmokinetics +dynamics of MAO inhibitors

A

except selegilline (MAO-B selective, is a patch so least sideeffects bc not systemically absorbed)

Q

how to prevent serotonin syndrome w MAO inhibitors

A

titrate off MAO inhibitors before starting other serotonin syndrome

for 2 weeks
4 weeks for fluoxetine

due to MAO-A making tyramine, so less risk for sergelline

dont eat foods w high tyramine (picked and cheeses)
