Thanks for the responses. First off, I am aware of the potential risks of mixing MAOI's c/ other meds. However, there are two important points I failed to mention in my initial posting; MAOIs have been safely and effectively taken concurrently with drugs such as Lithium, Wellbutrin, some TCAs, and others as well (see Ask an Expert-Mental Health, or Dr. Goldberg's site for relevant info). As far as ECT is concerned, I did have a brief trial four years ago. The results were, to say the least, undesireable-I experienced visual hallucinations without the benefits of symptom relief. Furthermore, I think I have gotten all I'm going to get out of taking Nardil straight up. Consequently, I am opting to proceed with the polypharmacy approach.
