Even they don't know what the reaction would be, you just have to take it slow and be careful. But these days, at least you have anti-hypertensive drugs for when you do get hypertensive on an MAOI. Apparently 3 people died on MAOIs and stims in the 50's and 60's. It was with dexedrine, but I take Desoxyn (methamphetamine). So even less is known with that combo.

i guess my doc is afraid that as a bipolar, i am susceptible to some sort of major brain activity/seizure ?
MAOIs + stims seems quite dangerous... and i think meth is one of the strongest stims (though i'm sure you already know this) ...
have you tried stim + SSRI first? how did that work out for you?
