What might be an alternate explanation for my reporting a dangerous reaction from combining Parnate and Nardil? Did you take my report into consideration in your musings? I think anyone should have an appreciation for what they don't know.

Obviously, you argue against my report as if it has no significance in your musings. Think about how your presentations might influence readers to combine drugs that can produce untoward reactions that leave one incoherent and unconscious and in need to immediate hospitalization to administer supportive measures. Penal catheterization is not fun.

My advice is to allow some period of time seperating the last dose of one MAOI and the first dose of the next. I don't know of any peer-reviewed medical article that asserts otherwise.

Interesting that Ken Gillman who is an expert on MAOIs seems to think that it is safe to cross-switch.
But he has given me wrong advice in the past too - so it just goes to show how tricky it is to navigate through all the opinions and information.
And your experience is not theory, it is real and proof that cross-switching these meds is not safe and reliable, even though some people may get away with it.
