> Did you go through a washout before starting the Parnate? I'm really worried about going through a washout and coming off Paxil. Though I would be willing to go through it if I had no choice.

In my case, I was switching from a tricyclate to an MAO, so apparently the danger of serotonin sydrome was much less. Also, I was in the hospital at the time and they could monitor all my vitals, etc 24/7. As I recall, I started the Parnate the day after I was admitted which means that I may have missed just one dose of the tricyclate.
I am afraid the situation is different with Paxil which is an SSRI-- and because you are (thankfully) not hospitalized. You should follow your physician's advice on this issue.
