***Disclaimer*** I do not advise anyone try this combo!
Strange, but some of the "Nardil" and "MAOIs" experts are alittle more cavalier about what can be mixed in with MAOIs. I had a consult with the nardil "God" Dr. Fredrick Quikten from Columbia. He has been involved in much of the research involved with nardil and other MAOIs (he is all over Pub Med). He actually recommended I add Dexadrine to my medication regimen to see if it would relieve the afternoon sedation and sex dysfunction. I couldn't believe it ... but he said he routined did this without a single episode of hypertensive crisis.

Second .... as Ace has mentioned ... nardil alway took alittle longer to take hold as opposed to other antidepressants. I have assumed this is because the nardil must saturate the gut MAO enzymes first before they can go up to the brain and start inhibiting the brain MAO enzymes. Nardil routinely took 1 to 2 weeks longer than standard antidepressants to take effect.
