I just found this forum - I think it's just what I've been looking for!

To answer your question: I have been on 300 mg of Lamictal and 75 mg of Nardil for about 2 months with no problems. My doctor hasn't been able to find any information on the effectiveness of this combination, but in terms of safety, it's fine.

Sleep (lack of) has always been a major issue for me, and on 300 mg of Lamictal and 60 mg of Nardil, I slept better than I have in my entire life. I am not sleeping as well since my Nardil dosage was increased to 75 mg (8 days ago), but I'm willing to stick with it for awhile and see what happens.

I hope this information helps.

My understanding is that Lamictal isn't uncommon to prescribe with an MAOI as an augmentor. I'm just starting it with Parnate and we intend to push it fairly high if necessary. No problems so far, no side effects either but I'm on a very low dose right now.
