In reply to Possible? To Nardil from Parnate?, posted by mbailey on January 27, 2004, at 8:58:54
Hi Jean. People switch all the time. I take Parnate myself. But I know of people who have switch from one to another. For some reason when one doesn't work the other does (in most cases).
Also, make sure your hubby was on a high enough dose of the Parnate. The PDR says 60 mg is the max but I take 90 mg and I know some people take up to 120 mg .... especially for treatment resistent depression.
Some people have switched right over while others give their bodies a 2 week wash out period. I don't know however if that is necessary.
