In reply to Prozac to Nardil 14 days Wait?, posted by Flipsactown on March 28, 2004, at 22:49:01
> I am on my 9th day of not having had any AD's including Prozac and I am having a very tough time dealing with, not only my unipolar depression, but to go another 5 days before I can even take my first Nardil. Then I will have to wait some more for Nardil to get fully in my system. Anybody know how long it will usually take for Nardil to kick in? Depression sucks! Thanks for listening.

If it were me, I would probably wait even longer, this because of Prozac's unusually long half life. Serotonin syndrome has occurred in a number of cases in situations like this involving Prozac and an MAOI, and I believe I would wait 30 days if it were me. To me, the 14 days is based off of the majority of antidepressant half lives, which generally are less than 48 hours (it takes five half lives for a drug to completely clear your system).Todd
