Patients should not use dextromethorphan if they are taking any drug in the class known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI), including phenelzine (Nardil), isocarboxazid (Marplan), and tranylcypromine (Parnate), which are used in the treatment of depression. The combination of MAOIs with dextromethorphan can lead to toxic levels of dextromethorphan in the blood.

The US manufacturer of tranylcypromine notes that the concurrent use of MAOIs and dextromethorphan has resulted in brief episodes of psychosis or bizarre behaviour.
