> How long does selegiline in pill form take to start working?
For what medical condition?
For depression, it is hard to say. It probably won't work at all, but I will be interested to see how you with it. With the Emsam patch, there is often a reduction in social anxiety that occurs within the first week or two. The antidepressant effect can take four weeks.
> If it doesn't work, can i transition immediately to nardil, or is there a wash out period?
There isn't very much that is understood about the mechanics behind the occurrence of stroke, although uncommon, when two different MAOIs are taken in proximity to each other. I don't doubt that some people can crossover without a washout period. However, I would wait at least 10 days between the last dose of selegiline and the initiation of treatment with another MAOI. A washout period of two weeks is recommended by the manufacturer.
