There was a discussion here on this topic very recently. The overall consensus was that yes you definitely need a 2 week washout. Even SLS did the two week wait, and he is pretty aggressive with meds. Someone had a serious emergency when they didn't wait the two weeks. Serotonin syndrome does not seem to be the problem. There is other stuff going on. Keep in mind, these drugs do a lot more than just MAO inhibition, much of which we don't know.

Nardil to Parnate without a washout...not cool in my book. I'm sure it has been done, but that doesn't make it reasonable or safe. The MAOIs are in the big leagues, a totally different game than other psychotropic meds. In the MAOI game, the penalties for wrong moves are much stiffer.

SLS has probably one of the best psychopharmacologists. SLS himself is a pro at this stuff. If his doctor insists on a 2 week washout, and if SLS agreed himself, then that to me means it is very important.
