Just wanted to alert you to this publication.
Br Med J. 1965 Jul 17;2(5454):168-9.
DEATH AFTER COMBINED DEXAMPHETAMINE AND PHENELZINE.
LLOYD JT, WALKER DR.On the other side, there is a case series using MAOI + stimulant. However, the stimulant used was low-dose methylphenidate or low-dose dextroamphetamine (not mixed amphetamine).
J Clin Psychiatry. 1985 Jun;46(6):206-9.
Combined MAOI, TCA, and direct stimulant therapy of treatment-resistant depression.
Feighner JP, Herbstein J, Damlouji N.Patients with "treatment resistant" depression who do not respond to standard methods or relapse over time have a moral and legitimate right to innovative therapy. Combined treatment with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and stimulants has been resisted by practitioners because of hypertensive and hyperthermic crises noted in certain cases. This paper reports a case series demonstrating the safety and efficacy of adding a stimulant to an MAOI or to a combination of TCA and MAOI in the treatment of intractable depression.
> I have just started Nardil for social phobia, but I also have chronic fatigue. I have read people here combining Dexadrine and Nardil with out the ill side effects that are supposed to happen.
>
> So, not wanting Nardil to make me any tired, I ignored my Dr. orders of not taking stimulants, and found a doctor who would prescribe me Adderal.
>
> I have been on it for a few days along with the Nardil. I have been getting some side effects, getting real warm, and sweating a lot and sometimes I will be sad or emotional for no reason.
>
> I am wondering if Adderal is worse to take with Nardil than Dexadrine, because it it four amphetamine salts instead of one.
>
> Should I stop asking for the Adderal, or should I give it some more time or should I switch to Dexadrine.

> I don't want to end up dead! But, if it was going to happen don't you think it would of already.
