Nardil in particular may be synergistic with benzos though - an active metabolite inhibits GABA-T (the enzyme that breaks down GABA.); but not synergistic in a dangerous way. Jedi's regimen is almost identical to mine--he takes 0.5 Klonopin with Nardil and I take 0.5 Klonopin twice a day with mine.
I have taken Nardil with both Klonopin and Xanax, and temazepam for sleep, without incident.
I've taken Parnate with Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan and temazepam for sleep also without incident.
(Note: Was only using one of Klonopin/Xanax/Ativan at a time. Benzo polypharmacy = not the greatest idea...)
