I know that you like your psychiatrist so I don't want to make a big deal. But there are plenty of doctors that will prescribe more than 60 mg of parnate (I was once on 80 mg). And many that will also prescribe nortriptyline with it - again, my doctor has done it on many occasions. You do need someone who is an expert in psychopharmacology. At the very least, you should ask your doctor if she won't prescribe it because of the PDR, would she consider recommending someone for the short term. The PDR should not dictate your medication.
You might want to try this link to find a psychiatrist who is comfortable prescribing combinations.

I suspect most of these doctors will go beyond what is in the PDR
