Extract

It is still generally believed that it is dangerous to combine the tricyclic antidepressants with any of the M.A.O. inhibitors, and the Federal Drug Administration, the Witts Committee and the drug manufacturers caution against so doing. Several current texts reiterate these warnings. (Beck, 1967; Malitz, 1966: Shepherd et al., 1968).
