Is there harm in mixing anti-depressants with speed or meth?

Does anyone know what the effect would be if someone taking anti-depressants were to take speed or meth?
The anti-depressants are an older type belonging to the Tryclic group, the actual chemical is called 'Imipramine'.
I've searched and found little solid information, but that the combination could possibly increase either the affect of the amphetamine or the anti-depressants, but this was not verified. Any personal experiences would be appreciated.
Cheers
 
Amphetamines (Methamphetamine, Adderall, Dexedrine), Ritalin (methylphenidate), Cocaine: As with MDMA above, many people find that while they are on a TCA, they do not experience the full effects of these stimulants. However, you WILL still be able to get fairly high from these drugs; the impact of the TCA on your high will not be that great. The only danger here is the same as the danger above with MDMA – possible cardiovascular complications. If you combine stimulants and a TCA, watch your dosage and pay attention to your any cardiovascular effects that seem unusual or disturbing.

Just wanted to reiterate what was written in the quote above, in particular the potential for amphetamines to potentiate the cardiac effects of TCA's. Also, see rxlist.com. TCA's alson can cause cardiac problems like ECG changes, increased heart rate, arrhythmia's etc (see imipramine).
