Drug Interactions
MAOIs can make you feel more sleepy if you drink alcohol. They can also make antidiabetic medicines work more strongly. Taking propranolol or risperidone can raise the levels of maprotiline in your body, which can increase the risk of side effects. Using phenothiazines together with these medicines can make seizures more likely.
Contraindications
Existing heart or blood vessel problems, epilepsy, or a tendency to have seizures.
Mode of actions
Maprotiline is a type of antidepressant that is closely related to tricyclic antidepressants. It works mainly by blocking the re-uptake of noradrenaline (a brain chemical), allowing more of it to stay active in the brain, which helps improve mood.
