2 week washout is required when switching from Nardil to Parnate. There is a published case of hypertensive resulting in stroke when switching MAOIs without a washout. Of course, because it happened to one person doesn't mean it will happen to everyone. There are reports of people switching without any problem. But to be safe, go for the 2 week washout.
> Normally it states you need the washout period going from one MAOI(A) to another MAOI(A), but I read on psychobabble where someone switched the next day.
