In reply to Depakote wash out period, posted by tina on October 23, 2002, at 16:11:31
As far as I know, there is no wash-out period when starting an MAOI with an AED like depakote. Like Gracie mentioned though, some people are particularly sensitive to stopping an AED- and you should never stop one suddenly since you risk convulsions. It really depends on what dose and how long you've been taking it in determining a tapering schedule, but again I think you can start an MAOI whenever- unless of course you are taking an SSRI (and please someone correct me if I'm wrong) take care, judy
