some stuff I found...
http://tinyurl.com/3dj5zo (talks about safety of combining the two)
http://tinyurl.com/2u6f6n (report of a woman having great benefits combining Nardil with Provigil for 6+ months and experiencing no side-effects.)

(articles on the safety of using stimulants in general with MAOIs)http://www.thechemblog.com/?m=200606&paged=2 (shows how Provigil is much more selective on what it effects in the brain compared to other stimulants)
So basically, in a nutshell, Provigil, is considered safer then amphetamines when combined with MAOIs, but even amphetamines have been shown to be very safe when used with caution under a doctors supervision.
However, and unfortunately, there has been no comprehensive study on the use of Provigil with MAOIs. So because of that, and because it is still not known exactly how Provigil works, some doctors may be very apprehensive about combining the two.From my personal experience of combining Provigil with Nardil, I've found Provigil to be a miracle drug. It is the only prescription drug I have ever taken that was very effective while also having zero side-effects.
Also, while I don't recommend this, consider it to be stupid, and will not do it again, I did once take over 1000 MG of Provigil while being on 75 MG of Nardil, and experienced no negative side-effects. I even checked my blood pressure after taking the Provigil, and it had not increased at all.
