Imipramine cannot be combined with MAOIs because it inhibits the reuptake of serotonin. The combination could cause severe toxicity. Lofepramine is different because it is essentially a noradrenergic antidepressant.

If you want to try imipramine you'd need to come of lofepramine and isocarboxazid first. You could start imipramine once you had been completely off isocarboxazid for three weeks.
