> I don't think an MAOi switch should take more than a day or two, but some pdocs really fear MAOIs and are cautious. They have very short half lives, couple hours. Why would you let MAO regenerate, just to inhibit it again? The only thing i could think of would be the other amine oxidase enzymes that these drugs may inhibit might do something? I switched from deprenyl to parnate, just stopped taking the deprenyl one morning and took parnate instead.

Yeah, when I switched from Emsam to Parnate, PDoc made me wait 2-4 weeks? can't remember. But I've been seeing a lot of people on board do it all the time (switch from one to another). So "that guy" will be happy, he has a back-up plan, and nobody wants to come off an MAOI to wait 4 weeks to start next. Just so we're clear tho, switching to an A/D other than another MAOI could be dangerous with out waiting, correct?
Thanks! Jade
