Effexor is a phenylethylamine, not phenylalanine.
> -- A wash out of 2 weeks is not necessary form Parnate to Nardil, a short washout is recomended when switching from Nardil to Parnate, but only because Nardil is an irreversible MAOI, and accumulates in the liver.You once wrote, that you can reduce nardil to 30mg because it accumulates in the liver. I dont understand this. Could you explain it to me? Douesnt that mean there is also a drop in the blood level? Just because it accumulates in the liver isnt there just a longer time to reach a steady blood concentration?
thanks.Roland
