In reply to nardil food washout period, posted by bobbiedobbs on October 27, 2008, at 0:53:01
> Temporarily getting off MAOIs for trip to Europe. My doc has given me a ramp down period where I get to only 15 mg, then stop completely 1 week before departure. I've heard a longer period is warranted. Opinions?
>The standard Nardil washout is 14 days. Apparently that's how long it takes the body to regenerate MAO. You might be OK after one week, but 2 weeks is safer. I wouldn't ramp down too fast. I had hallucinations from stopping cold turkey, and this is listed as a withdrawal side effect in the drug monograph.
Take care,
