Hello doctor,
I am wondering if I can take Levothyroxine along with MAO inhibitor? Also, I have taken Etizolam for a sleep disorder, how long do I need to wait before I can take MAO inhibitor?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You can take Levothyroxine with MAO (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor.
The list of contraindicated drugs is as follows.
MAO inhibitor after being stopped, show an increase of neural monoamine levels for 2 to 3 weeks.
Concomitant use of MAO inhibitor with Etizolam show side effects like sedation, dizziness, etc., but not fatal side effects are reported.

Thank you, doctor,
That was very helpful. How long does it take for Etizolam to leave the body completely? I used to take it regularly, but have just taken two tablets of 0.5 mg, a week ago. Is my body already cleaned off it?
