Very rare, but it has happened. The other thing is that buspar's metabolite turns into an alpha antagonist, which stimulates the release of norepinephrine. I don't know if that would be a problem with an MAOI or not, but I think it has the potential.
All that said, the combination has probably been done before. I just can't recall ever hearing of it or seeing any contraindications for it.
You might want to start a new thread on that question. Others may come in with some better answers for you.
I guess if you are considering buspar, then anxiety must be an issue despite nardil? If so, I just wanted to comment that at places like askapatient.com, revolutionhealth.com, patientslikeme.com, and such, a well liked combo is Parnate+Klonopin.
