Some -- perhaps most -- people can pull it off. (I didn't.) You need to be able to monitor it closely, though.

Jeez, you're collecting them all. :-) Seriously, I've taken tricyclics (amoxapine, nortriptyline) with MAOIs and it was fine except I didn't tolerate the side effects of the tricyclics. (That was how I got to be on MAOIs in the first place.) And I think Wellbutrin is fine -- I don't know of *any* documented MAOI-Wellbutrin interactions.
