No - Lamotrigine (Brand name Lamictal) is in a class of mood stabilizers. It's also used for epilepsy treatment. It has no MAO inhibitor effect. Lamotrigine has been shown to be a reversible inhibitor of MAO-A (Ki=15 uM) and MAO-B (Ki = 18 uM). MAO inhibition is possible at doses of 100-200mg/day and this could be a mechanism for the serotonin increases seen with lamotrigine treatment. The binding to the enzyme seems to be very reversible, that is, other MAO substrates can readily displace it. To the best of my knowledge, it lacks any clinically relevant interactions that are normally seen with MAOIs.

Can you take Cialis with your Mao inhibitor?
No, bupropion (Wellbutrin or Zyban) is a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor and shouldn't be taken with an MAO inhibitor, or 14 days after one has stopped taking an MAO inhibitor. Doing so would put one at a greatly increased risk of serious side effects such as seizures heart problems. Not a good idea :)

No-could kill you. Must be very careful with MAO inhibitors. This site is not the place to ask. Call pharmacist, now.
Can you take Paxil with theraflu?
Lexapro is an SSRI( Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor). Theraflu only interacts with medications known as MAOI's(Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor). Therefore, since SSRI's and MAOI's are two different types of medications, you may take the recommended dose of Theraflu along with a prescription dose of Lexapro.
Does Sertraline contain a MAO inhibitor?
No, Prozac (or fluoxetine) is a SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) and there is no effect on the monoamine oxidase enzyme.
Is Lexapro an antipsychotic drug?
