> 'with the exception of clomipramine, tca's are generally safe with maoi's...both amitriptyline and nortriptyline have had no special adverse effects. both drugs are good hypnotics and safe in combination, but one should beginwith a low dose, 25 mg, if the patient is improving on an maoi but has insomnia.' this information is from an article written by drs cole and bodkin in 'current psychiatry', vol 1., no. 6/june 2002.

Imipramine + Nardil = serotonin syndrome. I'm not sure about amitriptyline, but I would think it is too potent a reuptake inhibitor of serotonin.

The only two I would play with are desipramine and nortriptyline.

Doxepin and trimipramine might be OK, but I have no personal experience with them.

Parnate seems to be more forgiving. You might be able to get away with combining imipramine with this drug. I can't be sure, but I think I tried it once without adverse effect. However, I don't recommend taking the risk.
