I read that a long time ago...
I was forced to consider the possibility that Dr. Stahl might not be right about everything. It was very traumatic. :-)
I guess the key words are "rarely necessary or justified". This is a judgement call, not an absolute contraindication. Of the things he listed, only one is a matter of safety - sudden hypertensive events - something to be considered seriously. However, even Parnate by itself is capable of doing this. I can only describe what has worked for me in the past and the combinations I have taken since. Most of the doctors who have experience with such things are now 75-85 years old. My current doctor sort of inherited my treatment regime. I just want to emphasize that the only two tricyclic antidepressants that I would consider adding to MAOI are desipramine and nortriptyline.
