There are many medication "no-nos" which are far from being absolute. While the combination of an MAOI and a stimulant such as Dexedrine is potentially dangerous, the combination has been used by many psychiatrists when treating people with hard-to-treat depressions. Adding large doses of Dexedrine on top of full doses of an MAOI is dangerous, but adding small doses and gradually increasing the dose has provided relief for many people not helped by conventional means.
