> In theory, you only need to wait until your Nardil concentrations have declined to negligible levels, or even sooner, as long as you start with low doses of Parnate. Officially, however, I think the instructions are to wait 14 days.

I wouldn't do it, period. You'd be playing with fire. According to the article on www.mentalhealth.com,

"Phenelzine should not be administered together with or in rapid succession to [Parnate], because Hypertensive Crises and convulsive seizures, fever, marked sweating, excitation, delirium, tremor, coma and circulatory collapse may occur."

I believe, or have no reason to disbelieve, your statement that it is possible to combine them safely "in theory". I just wouldn't want to test it out on my beautiful body ;)
