Conundrum,
For what it's worth, I took 25 mg of the antihistamine doxylamine succinate (Unisom) when I was on Nardil and never had a problem. If my understanding is correct, antihistamines are listed as contraindicated with MAOIs on some lists, but not others. Combining Nardil and doxylamine succinate was also ok with the psychiatrist I was seeing at the time. So, I would check with your doctor, but I don't think that the antihistamine-MAOI interactions are as absolute as they're sometimes made out to be.
