Does Aneurin DBE have SSNRI effects? If it does, I'm guessing MAOIs, even herbal like yohimbine-hcl, should be avoided?
You may find it interesting that MAOIs are sometimes intentionally combined with SSNRIs in psychiatric practice. It is speculated that this may help alleviate the catecholamine depletion commonly associated with SSNRI monotherapy, so such a combo would not necessarily be contraindicated if your doctor concurs. Nevertheless, it seems irrelevant because I've found no research to suggest that ADBE possesses any SSNRI activity. Also, I've tried ADBE with yohimbe, and various other herbs with reuptake and MAO altering potentials, and have noticed no precipitation of effects characteristic of an SSNRI. Still, I acknowledge that while I have the prerogative to do so, I am solely responsible if I choose to ignore the clear label directive not to.
