I don't really understand Bulldog's answer too. Of course Lamictal could be a good augment to a MAOI, but it will do nothing for the blood pressure and can not replace Nifedipine as an antidote in case of hypertensive crisis.
To reduce the risk of tyramine-rich food provoved hypertension, noradrenergic TCAs or NARIs like Reboxetine could be used. But such combos must be taken under supervision of psychiatrists very familiar with MAOIs and are usually reserved for very treatment resistent cases.
