Abstract
The cases previously described with tranylcipromine and phenelzine abuse have been reviewed and the main epidemiological, clinical and diagnostic characteristics of them have been analyzed. The aim is to obtain a profile of the patients at risk to develop this kind of problem. In addition, several important questions and the most accepted pharmacological bases of this drugs' addiction are revised.
