Is Paroxetine safe with Tranylcypromine?
No — not without a prescriber's sign-off. Paroxetine and Tranylcypromine are flagged "Avoid" in DoseRoutine because combining SSRIs/SNRIs with MAOIs can cause life-threatening serotonin syndrome.
The short version
- Verdict
- Not together — this combination should be avoided.
- Timing
- Separating the doses does not solve this one. The concern is the combined effect in the body, not absorption timing, so spacing them out is not a workaround.
- What to do
- Do not combine. Allow at least 14 days between stopping one and starting the other (5 weeks for fluoxetine).
