“Pretreatment with the serotonin reuptake blocker, fluoxetine (10 mg/kg), or a non-hypothermic dose of meperidine (20 mg/kg) significantly potentiated the hypothermia induced by 100 mg/kg of l-5-hydroxytryptophan.”
“Intertreatment with doses of 5-hydroxytryptophan as low as 5 mg/kg one hour before meperidine administration markedly increased mortality of mice receiving the tranylcypromine-meperidine combination.”
“This response was significantly augmented if 5-hydroxytryptophan was coadministered with the meperidine.”
