 MAO Inhibitors
The monoamine oxidase inhibitor medications is another group of older but quite effective anti-depressant medications which has become largely forgotten.
MAO inhibitors can not be taken within several weeks of taking an SSRI medication or several other anti-depressants.
There are a number of lesser-known drugs that are MAOIs, such as linezolid and moclobemide; and some opioid analgesics have serotonergic activity.

 Monoamine oxidase inhibitors
Because MAO inhibitors work on the central nervous system, they may add to the effects of alcohol and other drugs that slow down the central nervous system, such as antihistamines, cold medicine, allergy medicine, sleep aids, medicine for seizures, tranquilizers, some pain relievers, and muscle relaxants.
Like other antidepressant drugs, MAO inhibitors help reduce the extreme sadness, hopelessness, and lack of interest in life that are typical in people with depression.
Taking MAO inhibitors with certain other drugs may affect the way the drugs work or may increase the chance of side effects.

 Monoamine oxidase inhibitor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a class of antidepressant drugs prescribed for the treatment of depression.
Combined use of non-selective MAO inhibitors or MAO-A inhibitors and serotonergic drugs, such as SSRIs or MDMA and other phenylethylamines, is likely to lead to serotonin syndrome.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors can be used to potentiate the effect of a number of hallucinogenic drugs, notably phenethylamines, tryptamines and several others.
