> Is it possible to combine Ritalin with an MAOI? This would be for treating ADD and Social Anxiety Disorder.
NO! An MAOI (such as parnate) + an amphetamine-like drug (such as Ritalin) can lead to a potentially fatal hypertensive crisis.
A good website to check on possible drug-drug and food-drug interactions is drkoop.com. The "Drug Checker" is under "Health Resources"--not the most intuitive interactive interface I've come across--takes a bit of patience, but it works.
