I would say that Parnate is the preferred MAOI to use with these drugs. Side effects are generally less problematic with it. I experience significant urinary retention and hypotension when combining Nardil with TCA. Nardil + amphetamine should be more tolerable.
* nortriptyline
* desipramine
* amphetamine
* methylphenidate
* bupropion
doxepin
trimipramine* I have taken these drugs in combination with both Parnate and Nardil.
Once, I was treated with the following drugs concomitantly:
Parnate 120 mg/day
desipramine 150 mg/day
amphetamine 20 mg/day
thyroxine
bromocriptineOf course, this doesn't mean that everyone else will tolerate these drugs in combination.
