No, but I'm preety sure Lamictali is safe. I'm sure there are some old messages about this- do the search function 'MAOI + Lamictal'

Best of luck!,
Ace.

I'm taking a pretty large dose of both -100mg Parnate, 400mg Lamictal- and am doing very well although I suspect that the Zyprexa I'm taking is helping significantly.

I've taken anywhere from 2.5 to 10 mgs of Zyprexa. The higher the dose, the more weight I've gained.
This week I started Abilify to try to take the place of Zyprexa because of the weight gain. If I start to feel lousy I'll go back on the Zyprexa and learn to be fat.

I have taken both Zyprexa and Abilify as augmentors to treat severe depression. I found both to be helpful (transiently). I must say that I thought the antidepressant effects of Abilify were superior. Good luck.
