I have him researching the combination of Dexamphetamine and a MAOI, so hopefully I will get that combination, but if I don't, does anyone have any suggestions on medications that reduce depression and fatigue but are safe to use with a MAOI?

> I am getting desperate here, all I can say is thank god for government jobs.I take Parnate 60 mg and can't sleep at all without 45 mg of Dalmane. But as far as augmentation I have found low dose (600 mg) of Lithium to be very helpful. Also I was using ketamine lozenges daily for awhile and I think it actually was somewhat curative. I don't use it anymore but my Doctor was fine with prescribing low dose ketamine with an MAOI.
If one digs through case reports and anesthesiology guidelines the impression is that the combination of ketamine and an MAOI is not as dangerous as was thought
The weirdest thing with Parnate was having episodes of orthostatic hypotension and just falling on my *rs* if I stood up quickly. Fortunately that didn't last long.
I tried low dose naltrexone and oddly it gave me vicious insomnia but not much else. But your mileage may vary.
