In reply to How do I swap from Nardil to Parnate?, posted by don_bristol on December 10, 2003, at 6:58:54
The conservative approach is to wait 14 days between your last dose of Nardil and your first dose of Parnate. Some people have gotton away with waiting less time, or even taking both drugs at the same time, but I would offer no guarantees as to the absolute safety of doing so. Who do you listen to? I have always taken the conservative approach. It is probably more dangerous to switch from Nardil to Parnate than it is to switch from Parnate to Nardil. It seems to take longer for MAO activity to recover after taking Nardil. You might actually feel better briefly while coming off the Nardil. This is known as a drug discontinuation rebound improvement. I experience this upon discontinuation of Nardil and tricyclics.
