SSRIs are contraindicated with concomitant use of MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors). This can lead to increased serotonin levels which could cause a serotonin syndrome.

Overall, it appears from the literature that the combination of MAOIs and TCAs can be relatively safe and effective in the treatment of patients whose depression is treatment-resistant. On the other hand, the risks associated with MAOI and TCA treatment have made this strategy relatively unpopular.

What you want to avoid is serotonin syndrome-combining serotogenic antidepressants with MAOI presents a risk.

For me the one time I was on an MAOI it was started at the same time I started a TCA-both were raised slowly.

I think you can take Ritalin and Nardil together.
