I was taking Provigil with Nardil for about three months at one point -- there should be no problems with normal doses. High doses (i.e. 800-1,000mg) tend to raise blood pressure, so those should obviously be avoided. But apparently from what you said you're not going to need a high dose.
I don't know your pdoc, of course, but I've always found it better just to tell the truth. Maybe not about experimenting with amphetamines, barbiturates, or opioids, but Provigil is not very useful as a recreational drug unless about one gram is taken (and at this dose, I swear, I couldn't distinguish it from a low dose of MDMA). Because of its very low potential for abuse, I wouldn't worry about your doctor thinking you a "druggie" just because you tried it once to see if it relieves your symptoms. Just be sure to tell her that you did research before combining Provigil with an MAOI, or else she may become a bit upset. :-)
