> Monica paxil should not be withdrawn all of a sudden what dose? Should be tappered and still don't know why you need a washout period for EMSAM as if starting on 6mg no restrictions on food or anything. It's only the higher 9 And 12mg that the tyramine is involved. Phillipa
Phillipa,
My understanding is that even at 6mg a washout is necessary for emsam unless it is the most dire of circumstances, and then it should be monitored very closely. My doctor wanted to do a three week washout. Yikes! Hopefully we can shorten that to two.
