In reply to SAM-e and Parnate? HELP!!!, posted by Anna P. on March 31, 2000, at 15:03:43
Anna - As with any switch from one antidepressant to an MAOI, it is probably a good idea to give the SAM-e a 2 week washout before starting the Parnate. Better to be safe than sorry when dealing with potential serotonin syndrome. I cannot back-up my recommendation with any hard evidence, but I believe a 2 week wash-out to be important, if only in theory. Hope this helps - Cam W.
