Ah, OK. In that case, it makes sense to try an MAOI.
Did you ask about paroxetine? You need to have been completely off paroxetine for a minimum of one week (although some recommend two weeks) before starting an MAOI. The 'rule' varies with the SSRI eg. you have to have been off fluoxetine for at least five weeks before starting an MAOI.
A washout period of two weeks is recommended when switching from Nardil to Parnate or vice versa.
