When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

The use of monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressants is contraindicated in patients with a history of headaches. Nonspecific MAOIs inhibit the breakdown of pressor amines, the accumulation of which can precipitate hypertensive crises. Intracranial hemorrhage and death have resulted in some cases. Since headache may often be the first symptom of a hypertensive reaction during MAOI therapy, use of these agents is not recommended in patients who experience frequent or severe headaches. MAOIs should be withdrawn promptly if headaches develop during treatment.
