> I should clarify. My MD has taken Parnate for years for his depression. His comment was based on Reboxetine as an augmentation for MAOIs for depression, not for any possible "tyramine effect" experimentation, which of course would be silly and unverifiable.

Not unverifiable! There have been experiments comparing the pressor effects of tyramine in humans on various MAOIs and no MAOI. Comparing MAOI + reboxetine to MAOI + placebo would be quite doable.

>Apparently, he knows several MD's in England who've tried small doses of Reboxetine with MAOI's, with great success so far. As for the pressor effects, it's too early to tell...

That's good to hear. There's always something else to try, right?
