yes...it can done: carefully, slowly, and *only* under close observation by a shrink who has experience with this kind of combo (not just one who feels like experimenting). When TCAs and MAOIs became more popular in the 1960s (they were introduced in the 1950s), this kind of combo was attempted with some regularity, since other options were limited. Also popular would be adding a stimulant to a TCA, MAOI or (again, very cautiously) to the mix. Sedatives and neuroleptics have also been used, with varying degrees of success.
