Yeah i really think 14 days is too long too, depending i guess on how long has been on an MAOI. But i would say that going from Nardil to Parnate or selegeline requires more caution than going from one of those to Nardil.

I say this because I've read of a person having a stroke when switching between Parnate and Nardil without 7 days washout. But both times I switched I was suffering greatly- this suffering necissitated a quick switch.
