Is Wellbutrin, Lemectal, Prozac an MAOI
I don't think any of those are monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI). You should be able to tell if you read the insert that comes with the medication. It would also be a good idea to ask your pharmacist. One site that I use on occasion to find medication information in a fairly easy to read format is www.crazymeds.org. This site focuses mostly on mood stabilizers, antidepressants, etc. However, your best bet would be to ask your doctor or pharmacist.
No, neither is.
Nope
MAOI's are old school!
What is an MAOI?
MAOI is an acronym for Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor
Description:
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors are a class of antidepressants used for the treatment of depression. Due to the potential for serious dietary and drug interactions they are prescribed less frequently than other classes of antidepressant medications, such as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) or tricyclics. However, in some cases where individuals prove unresponsive to other treatments, MAOIs have been tried with marked success. They can be especially effective in treating atypical depression, and have been effective in helping smokers quit.
MAOI Treatment and usage:
MAOIs were previously prescribed for people who proved resistant to tricyclic antidepressant therapy, but newer MAOI medications are sometimes utilized as a first-line therapy. They are also used for treating social anxiety, agoraphobia, panic disorder and borderline personality disorder.
