I guess no at least not for Moclobemid (RIMA).
I know one who is taking about 900 mg Moclobemid and 45 mg Mirtazapine daily without any serious side effects.
But bee careful and discuss it with you pdoc before doing such combos !

From Rx list...check out the section about *human data*In patients receiving other antidepressants in combination with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) and in patients who have recently discontinued an antidepressant drug and then are started on an MAOI, there have been reports of serious, and sometimes fatal, reactions, e.g., including nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, tremor, myoclonus, rigidity, diaphoresis, hyperthermia, autonomic instability with rapid fluctuations of vital signs, seizures, and mental status changes ranging from agitation to coma. *Although there are no human data pertinent to such an interaction with REMERON® (mirtazapine) Tablets*, it is recommended that REMERON® not be used in combination with an MAOI, or within 14 days of initiating or discontinuing therapy with an MAOI.

There sure is (if you're talking about irreversible MAOIs -- Nardil, Parnate, Marplan).
