John’s wort or cyclobenzaprine (a tricyclic muscle relaxant).

• May cause serotonin syndrome when used with antidepressants (5.2)

In the post-marketing period, fatal and non-fatal cases of serotonin syndrome have been reported in patients treated with antidepressants concomitantly with ZELAPAR [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions ( 7.1 , 7.2 , 7.3 )] .

Because the mechanisms responsible for these reactions are not fully understood, avoid the combination of ZELAPAR with any antidepressant.

…allow concomitant use of any selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (e.g., fluoxetine-Prozac, fluvoxamine-Luvox, paroxetine-Paxil, sertraline, venlafaxine-Effexor, or nefazodone-Serzone) or any non-selective serotonin reuptake inhibiting antidepressant drug (except when taken at a low dose and only at night for the purpose of effective sleep) with ZELAPAR.

When it is desired to substitute protriptyline for a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, a minimum of 14 days should be allowed to elapse after the latter is discontinued.
