That was the first drug that occurred to me as well.
I would be hesitant to mix Nardil with cocaine, though. Among its many properties, cocaine inhibits serotonin reuptake, which, in combination with Nardil might produce serotonin syndrome. I'm not sure, but it is a possibility and should be investigated further if you intend to use. Ritalin is safe to mix with Nardil. Supposedly, it is safer to be on an antidepressant first before adding an MAOI. This should apply to Ritalin as well. (I would have thought it to be the exact opposite). I'm not sure this is true, as I have done it both ways without sequelae. You might want to stick around the doctor's office for the first dose of Ritalin if you are already taking Nadil to watch for a sudden increase in blood pressure. Adderall might be worthy of consideration in place of Ritalin.
