Why should Pamelor not be prescribed?
If you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to Pamelor or similar drugs, you should not take this medication. Make sure your doctor is aware of any drug reactions you have experienced. Do not take Pamelor if you are taking—or have taken within the past 14 days—a drug classified as an MAO inhibitor. Drugs in this category include the antidepressants phenelzine and tranylcypromine. Combining these drugs with Pamelor can cause fever and convulsions, and could even be fatal.
