No prob. Ed :)
I think it's definitely worth exploring MAOI's in combo with other drug classes, as long as it is done in a very controlled setting, like hospital. It would seem to me to be very dose dependant, to be safe AND successful.
I would expect a very selective SSRI like Citalopram or Escitalopram would be a more risky choice to combine. I would be leery of any SSRI MAOI combination, but perhaps a SNRI or TCA would have less risk?
Your research examples seem to bear that out.
As to the Belgian study of the person that died, holy...can u say "overdose"??? i.e purposefull.
I might bring this discussion up with my Pdoc next trip, purely for interest's sake!
