> Amitriptyline inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and thus should not be taken with an MAOI if my understanding is correct
Actually, I take this back. Information in a post that was just made here (see below) seems to suggest that imipramine and clomipramine are the only tricyclics that pose a significant risk of triggering serotonin syndrome when taken with an MAOI. Of course, taking a tricyclic without significant serotonergic properties alongside an MAOI should only be done with close medical supervision.
Here's a link to the post that I mentioned above:
