Yes. My point, and Scott's point, wasn't that MAOI's cannot be combined with other medications, it was that they cannot be combined with medications with *significant* serotonergic activity because of the high risk of serotonin syndrome. Dextroamphetamine as an adjunct to an MAOI increases the risk of hypertensive crisis owing to increased noradrengic CNS transmission, but under appropriate supervision is safe, as you have experienced (unfortunately, the combination is prohibited in Australia).
