Nardil should work for both. My guess is that you would experience a slight prosocial or anxiolytic effect earlier than an antidepressant effect.

I have started a MAOI first and then added the TCA afterwards on several occasions without adverse effect.
Yes, I do think it is worth a try. I can't think of any reason why Nardil + TCA would be specific for bipolar disorder. As for which TCA to choose, I emphatically suggest that the only two that you consider are nortriptyline and desipramine. These are the drugs least likely to produce serotonin syndrome or autonomic side effects.
