Hi DL
The information I provided was written by Stewart Tepper MD. He is the Director of the New England Center for Headache.
The major problem with combining MAOIs with triptans is that the combination has received very little study, which has lead some doctors to avoid combining the two drugs based on the possibility that an interaction might occur.
Almotriptan (Axert) seems like a suitable triptan to use with MAOIs, since it does not cross the blood brain barrier.
