Thanks for the response guys. Now I just have to convince my psychiatrist which will be rather challenging. Scott my main reason for wanting to augment was due to Nardil weight gain which is likely since I pile it on with the ssris. I've been reading that weight gain not loss is a common side effects of amitriptyline. Reboxetine however makes the weight fall off me more than anything I have ever tried. It could mean I won't have to stop and start the drug due to weight gain as many people do making it a more attractive and sustainable option. I found Reboxetine on it's own not so great as an antidepressant but excellent for weight loss and similar results with ssri augmentation with less fatigue. Hopefully this too works in the maoi world. I found this 2007 study which I will print out for my psychiatrist. It basically concludes that as you said Scott that an maoi combination of Reboxetine or amitriptyline is safe and can even be safer to block Tyramine.
