Default i thought...

That if you were to keep the dose of Azilect at 2mg per day, it would only inhibit monoamine oxidase B, so you would be OK, but apparently according to
http://www.peacehealth.org/kbase/multum/d00181a1.htm
it is not a good thing to do. The question is, is bupropion potentiated when only MAOIB is knocked out?
Bupropion is metabolized rapidly (and i assume reversibly) to the aminoalcohol isomers, and it is structurally a "phenethylamine". My guess is that it is potentiated when you knock out monoamine oxidase B (we take MAOIB to potentiate dopamine selectively). Her's some blurb about bupropion (all you would ever want to know ! )

Caya and all- Did you guys realize that this post comes up when you do web searches? I've seen Neurotalk posts come up quite frequently when one does a search looking for answers to specific questions in this blogg room. So watch what you say, our words our like honey attracting ants out there !!!
