That's a good question, Desolation. I don't think they have been actually--just anafranil, which supposedly the best balanced serotenergic/norepinephrine AD. However, I think the NE and other effects of certain tricylcics could boost the effectivness of an MAOI. This may have something to do with down regulation of certain 5ht receptor, which is characteristic of nortriptyline when combined with SSRIs.
