Question 7

how long do maoi effects of linezolid (zyvox) last?

Wait 10 days: It is not clear what exactly the answer is.  Zyvox (linezolid) is a weak MAO inhibitor.  I would avoid other maoi's or drugs that act on sympathetic nervous system for 10 days.

Question 8

: MAO inhibitors are not easy to use and I do not know if this group is useful in rejection sensitivity. Cognitive behavior therapy is effective for this behavior problem and consult with a psychologist is highly recommended.

Question 9

is it safe to take a maoi otc medicine tablet if i'm on lexapro? i'm sick and there aren't many other options in the house...

Accepted Answer

No - not safe: I don't know of any over-the-counter Monoamine Oxidase inhibitors (MAOI's). But  MAOI's can not be taken with numerous medications and food. It would not be safe to mix an SSRI and a MAOI.

Question 10

are reversible maois like moclobemide less effective than irreversible ones?  reversible ones seems to have fewer dietary restrictions

Accepted Answer

Not really: we generally dont use the irreversible ones often because of the risk of interaction and because of the fact that they dont seem to be consistently and robustly superior.
