Hi.
I have often thought of combining the two MAOIs.
Such desperation.
The territory you would be entering would be almost completely uncharted. There are some plots on the chart to consider, though. I am aware of at least two instances where a stroke occurred when the full 14 day waiting period recommended between taking these two drugs was not followed. One stroke occurred after 10 days. The induction of a CVA might be as unpredictable as a tyramine reaction. Some people might get by just fine; others not. I'm not sure it is worth the risk.
I think you are better off trying to add desipramine titrated to 150-200mg.
