In reply to How long does 1 wait between Nardil and Parnate?, posted by mogger on January 12, 2005, at 21:43:11
> Hello,
> My sister was on Nardil 45 mg, stopped taking it because she had such bad side effects, then her doctor said she could start parnate exactly one week after her last dose of Nardil. When she started Parnate she took 10 mg the 1st day, 20 mg the 2nd, and 30 mg the third day. She then had a hypertensive reaction (swelling of the eyes, headache and high blood pressure, we took her to the emergency room) after taking the 30 mg and had to come off parnate. Has that happened to anyone? She didn't eat anything that tipped it off? Just curious for anyones opinion. Many thanks,
> JosephHi mate,
I can only relay to you my own experience. I switched to Parnate from Nardil 90mg in one day! Then I switched back the next day from 10mg Parnate to 90mg Nardil!!! I had no ill effects.
I have heard of people who combine the two....and many have NO washout period between them
In case of a hypertensive crises: use ADALAT (NIFEDIPINE)
In case of a serotonin syndrome: Use PERIACTIN
But, this is only my advice and experience...the Doctor should have the final say....except in my case where I have the final say!! ha ha!
